It is our great pleasure to invite you to participate and present your latest work in the Mini Symposium on “Advances in Constitutive Modeling of Soils and Parameter Determination” (MS-24) that will be held during the ASCE Engineering Mechanics Institute 2025 International Conference (EMI 2025-IC), at Tsinghua University in Beijing on Jul 17-20, 2025.
The co-organizers of MS-24 include Rui Wang, Yan-Guo Zhou, Majid Manzari, Mahdi Taiebat, Kyohei Ueda, and Zhongxuan Yang.
This Mini Symposium aims to bring together researchers to discuss the needs, challenges, advances, and innovative paths forward for the development of constitutive models for soils and accurate parameter determination for advanced soil models.
Contributions are welcome on, but not limited to the topics below:
- Constitutive modeling of soils under complex loading conditions
- Constitutive modeling of special types of soils
- Machine learning in constitutive modeling of soils
- Optimization algorithms and machine learning methods in soil model calibration
- Parameter determination using combination of laboratory and in-situ measurements
- Validation and application of soil constitutive models and calibration methods
The deadline for the submission of abstracts is February 3, 2025, and we are excited to receive your abstract in due course. The link for abstract submission is https://emi-ic.asce.org/call-abstracts.
We look forward to your contributions soon.
