Dear colleagues,
We would like to draw your attention to the forthcoming SIMP-SGI Congress (Bari, Italy, 3-5 September 2024) and to submit your abstracts to the following session:
T30. The science of clays and zeolites: from genesis to sustainable applications
Clay and zeolites minerals can contribute to achieve the ambitious goals of the European Green Deal, representing a clear response to global challenges related to broad fields of applications for industry, environment, hydrogeological risk and more. These minerals are of great interest for geosciences. Clays are the most diffuse sediments on the Earth crust, and they have a fundamental role in understanding paleoclimate, sedimentary environments, and diagenetic processes. Moreover, as zeolites, they represent a useful tool providing information on hydrothermal system and very low-grade metamorphism. Thanks to their extreme sensitivity, clays and zeolites find application in high-value technological uses by exploiting ion exchange and selective adsorption of organic molecules such as the sequestration of undesirable substances (included that of emerging concern) from aqueous, solid, and gaseous phases. Furthermore, they represent important sources of raw materials in several industrial productions as ceramic and construction materials. This session is open to studies highlighting the important contribution of these minerals in geoscience, their crystal chemistry and genesis, as well as their applications in wastewater treatment, environmental remediation and soil reclamation, landslides studies, hydrogeological risk, in the production of ceramic and more.

The deadline for abstract submission is 26 April 2024, 19:00 CET.
Hoping to see you in Bari!

A possibly funded PhD project is open for student candidates at the RECOVER research unit (INRAE, Aix-Marseille University), south of France. The project will be co-supervised by Jérôme Duriez and Stéphane Bonelli and will focus on either the Level Set-Discrete Element Method or the Material Point Method, at the candidate’s discretion.

Advances in the field of soil-structure interaction are impacting design, retrofitting and protection of civil engineering structures against natural hazards. CompDSSI is an in-person International Workshop devoted to new-generation numerical approaches for the dynamic analysis of soil-structure systems of strong practical relevance, investigating critical issues and high-fidelity methods applicable from local to regional scale. A meeting point to share knowledge, in which researchers and designers of Structural & Geotechnical Engineering will promote solutions for a safer and more efficient urban fabric.

OpenSees is an evolving numerical framework for advanced assessment of civil engineering structures against natural hazards, in which soil-structure interaction can be simulated through multiple levels of complexity. We will explore soil-structure modelling in OpenSees, focussing on critical issues of the implementation. The development of nonlinear dynamic analyses is the main goal of this path. To this end, new-generation approaches for assessing the dynamic performance of soil-structure systems will be described and techniques to implement new features in OpenSees will be discussed, of interest for both Users and Developers. The discussion will be extended to the use of tools for regional analysis and artificial intelligence-based assessment. Several example applications will be provided, supported by hands-on experience and working groups.
