Seminar Announcement: Geotechnical Advances in Urban Renewal: Analysis & Design

We would now like to announce the International Geotechnical Seminar:  
GEOTECHNICAL ADVANCES IN URBAN RENEWAL: ANALYSIS & DESIGN

This will be held at Imperial College, London on 20 APRIL 2010, the Seminar is FREE of charge to delegates and therefore there are only a limited number of places available, these will be awarded on a first come, first serve basis.

This International Seminar will bring together consultants, contractors, geotechnical engineers, and scholars in the geotechnical and tunnel engineering field.  IT provides a forum for the presentation of a broad spectrum of State-of-the-Practice on analysis and design in urban renewal topics.  Please join us for what promises to be an interesting and informative program.

Confirmed Speakers and their subjects:

  • Dr Kurt Zeidler (Gall Zeidler Consultants LLC):  Soft ground tunnelling, NATM/SCL, special applications and methods.
  • Professor Fulvio Tonon (University of Texas at Austin):  Application of the ADECO (Analysis of COntrolled DEformations) in urban tunnelling; case histories.
  • Professor Kenichi Soga (Cambridge University):  Foundation optimisation and its application to pile reuse. 
  • Professor George Exadaktylos (Technical University of Crete):  Spatial estimation of geotechnical parameters for numerical tunnelling simulations and TBM performance models.
  • Darin Kruse (Cobalt Construction Company):  Large diameter segmentally lined shafts. 
  • Dr Andrew Bond (Geocentrix/Geomantix):  Title to be advised.
  • Dr Subhamoy Bhattacharya (University of Bristol):  Simplified dynamic soil-structure interaction analysis.
  • Dr Hoe Yeow (Arup Geotechnics):  Do Eurocodes make a difference?  - in soft ground tunnel design.
  • Mr Alexander Nikolic (Buro Happold): The tale of stability and serviceability
