NTNU’s Geotechnical Group together with Dr. Medicus from University of Innsbruck offers a PhD Course in Soil Modelling from October 14^th to 18^th, 2024. This course provides a background for development and application of the soil models used in continuum-based computer codes for geotechnical applications. The course focuses on soil behaviour, elastoplastic theory, hypo-  and hyperplasticity, selected material models and their parameters. It also provides some insight into numerical implementation of soil models. The course aims at providing a general theoretical framework for interpretation of the mechanical behaviour of soils.

The 2024 Engineering Mechanics Institute Conference will be hosted by the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and held in Chicago from May 28—31, 2024. 

Ghassan Shahin, John Rudnicki, and Giuseppe Buscarnera would like to invite you to contribute to the mini-symposium Advances in Geomechanics and Geophysics for Sub-surface Technology and Natural Hazard (MS 0502). Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• multiscale mechanics and multiphysics of geomaterials
• fault mechanics, rock fracturing, and strain localization
• field and laboratory methods
• constitutive, multiscale, and data-driven modelling
• instability theories
• field-scale studies

Abstract submission is now open and will remain open until December 31, 2023. Information on submitting an abstract may be found here.

We hope you will submit an abstract to the conference and meet in Chicago!

We would like to inform you that researchers from the Laboratoire Navier, the LMPS (ENS Paris Saclay) and the Centre de Géosciences (Ecole des Mines ParisTech) are organising the CREAMS (CREep Across Materials and Scales) international workshop with co-funding from the Laboratoire Navier, the LABEX MMCD and the DIM MaTeRe.

The objective of this workshop is to explore the various approaches employed by different scientific communities in investigating creep phenomena in solids. Specialists in the fields of cementitious materials, bio-sourced materials, glasses + amorphous materials, and rocks + soils will discuss different materials and scales at which creep processes are observed.

We invite everybody to this workshop that will be held on 9 and 10 November at ENPC close to Paris (France).

The programme and all the necessary information about this event are available online at: https://creams.sciencesconf.org/

Online registration is free and mandatory, subject to the number of places available.

A poster session will be devoted to those interested in presenting their work, related to the workshop theme. We strongly encourage doctoral and post-doctoral students to participate. All you have to do is register on the website and submit an abstract (max. 400 words) by 24 October.

Please reserve these dates and share this announcement within your network!

Dear Colleagues,

Nanyang Technological University together with NTU CEE Alumni Association is organizing 2nd International Conference on Microbial Biotechnology in Construction Materials and Geotechnical Engineering (MBCMG 2024) from 15th and 16th of August 2024 in Singapore.  This conference is gracefully supported by Geotechnical Society of Singapore (GeoSS), ISSMGE Technical Committee TC211 on Ground Improvement, ISSMGE Technical Committee TC217 on Land Reclamation, American Concrete Institute (Singapore Chapter), and BioGeotechnics (An International Journal). We would like to invite you to participate this conference to catch up with latest development in one of the fastest developing R&D areas in construction materials and geotechnical engineering together with the other participants around the world.

The conference involves a wide range of topics related to biogeotechnologies. It will be an insightful gathering, drawing together a diverse audience of academics, developers, design engineers, and postgraduate students who share a profound interest in bio-mediated soil behaviour and bio-inspired construction materials.

For further details regarding the conference, please visit our official website at www.2icmbcge.com. Should you have any inquiries or require further information, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at < chao.shi@ntu.edu.sg > < sfwu@ntu.edu.sg > or < kangda.wang@ntu.edu.sg >.

We look forward to welcoming you to Singapore in August 2024.
