transport Infrastructure Development and natural Hazards Mitigation
call for registration International Conference on ground improvement and ground control: Transport Infrastructure Development and Natural Hazards Mitigation ICGI - 2012 wollongong, australia 30 November - 2 october 2012 International Conference on ground improvement and ground control www.icgiwollongong.com 1 conference Invitation www.icgiwollongong.com The Centre for Geomechanics and Railway Engineering and the Australian Geomechanics Society under the auspices of ISSMGE will be organising the International Conference on Ground Improvement and Ground Control: Transport Infrastructure Development and Natural Hazards Mitigation. The Conference will be held at the McKinnon Building of University of Wollongong, Australia, during October 30 - November 2, 2012. The Conference will be aimed at promoting ground improvement concepts and applications predominantly in the fields of transportation geotechnology and natural hazards mitigation. This Conference will act as a platform to disseminate the most recent research and field advances to the geotechnical community around the globe and is expected to be the biggest Ground Improvement conference to be held in Australia. Outstanding keynote lectures, State of Art (SOA) presentations, heritage lectures and numerous technical discussions will contribute three days of scientific and technical discourse followed by attractive excursion encompassing the natural landscape of the south coast of New South Wales. hosts & sponsors venue: McKinnon Building (Building 67), University of Wollongong, Australia CONFERENCE ORGANISERS OTHER MEMBERS Centre for Geomechanics & Railway Engineering, and SMART Infrastructure Facility, University of Wollongong, Australia Geoff McIntosh Prof. Harry Poulos Prof. A.S.
