The Symposium will primarily include aspects of transportation geotechnics focusing on railways, roads, and airfields. Topics will include but not limited to the following:
- (i) dynamic interaction of vehicle and transportation infrastructure (road and airfield pavements and track structures for rail and transit, and bridges);
- (ii) soil-structure dynamic interaction problems in transportation;
- (iii) wave propagation and monitoring, evaluation and control of traffic induced structural and ground vibrations;
- (iv) cyclic deformation of soils and transportation foundation settlement;
- (v) dynamic characteristics of soils and transportation infrastructure;
- (vi) analyses and testing of environmental vibrations induced by vehicle, machine and human;
- (vii) environmental vibration issues in urban subway and metro lines;
- (viii) structural safety and serviceability of transportation infrastructure;
- (ix) advances in geomaterial characterization, laboratory and field evaluation, and full scale testing;
- (x) monitoring, evaluation and control of traffic induced vibrations of roads, railways and airfields;
- (xi) application of geosynthetics in transportation infrastructure;
- (xii) stabilization/reinforcement of foundation geomaterials of transportation infrastructure;
- (xiii) climatic change effects on performance of foundation geomaterials in transportation infrastructure (road, airfield, railway and transit).
High-quality papers relevant to Transportation Geotechnics and addressing the above themes are invited. Interested participants should submit abstracts (containing up to 200 words, authors, their affiliations, detail of contact person and the relevant number of specific themes) through the following conference website or via the conference secretariat in accordance with the following schedule.
