Megacities are the stages of interaction for new and old buildings, highways, lifelines, other surface and underground structures. The corresponding geotechnical risks are significantly aggravated by the presence of enormous quantities of inhabitants in high density. The complexity of new challenges to be solved by geotechnics in urban agglomerations demands close cooperation and expertise exchange among the broad international audience. So for the first time in the practice of international conferences five technical committees of ISSMGE (TC18, TC28, TC32, TC38 and TC41) will unite their efforts in solving the common problems of geotechnical engineering of megacities. TC 18 - Deep Foundations. TC 28 - Underground Construction in Soft Ground. TC 32 - Engineering Practice of Risk Assessment and Management. TC 38 - Soil-Structure Interaction. TC 41 - Geotechnical Infrastructure for Mega Cities and New Capitals. The aim of the Conference is to provide an opportunity for engineers and scientists working in the field of geotechnical engineering to identify new challenges and find out new solutions to the existing problems. The synergetic effect is expected from the interaction of the specialists with different background working in different fields. |
