The first call for abstracts for the 3rd International Conference on Tomography of Materials and Structures, which will be held in Lund, Sweden, 26th – 30th June 2017 is now open. ICTMS 2017 is the 3rd biannual conference of IntACT (International Association of Computed Tomography), following very successful meetings in Ghent (2013) and Quebec City (2015), and will focus on the use of 3D tomographic methods for (non-medical) studies of the internal structures of materials and their evolution. More details can be found at: http://ictms2017.lth.se

A minisymposium on recent developments in unsaturated soil and unsaturated porous media mechanics will be held during/at InterPore 2017 (Rotterdam, May 8-11, 2017). The session is entitled MS1.5 Constitutive framework for unsaturated porous media: experimental challenges and modeling opportunities. Abstract submission information is available at the following link: https://www.interpore.org/116-event-booking/9th-international-conference-on-porous-media-annual-meeting/318-abstract-uploading-16. The extended deadline is November 21.

As an opportunity to present and discuss advances in the computational simulation of large deformation problems, a mini-symposium will be organized at the Interpore 2017 conference, 8-11 May 2017 in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. The conference works on the basis of submitted abstracts only (no papers) and then oral/poster presentations in a series of mini-symposiums. All participants will have the opportunity to orally present their work (15 mins for oral contributions or 3 mins for poster presenters, in addition to their poster). Abstract submission is now open until November 14th.

The Thermo-Hydro-Mechanical (THM) behaviour of soils occupies a central role in many coupled processes in geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering, such as geo-energy, nuclear waste disposal, thermo-active structures and atmospheric interaction of earthworks. In order to provide a forum for academics and practitioners in these areas to exchange their research on thermo-hydro-mechanical behaviour of soils, a mini-symposium on the topic is being organised as part of the Interpore 2017 conference, to be held 8-11 May 2017 in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. This mini-symposium is an opportunity to present experimental research, field work and computational studies focussing both on fundamental aspects of THM behaviour and its application to engineering problems.
