www.australiangeomechanics.org
CALL FOR PAPERS
IMPORTANT DATES & SUBMISSIONAbstracts are to be received by
20 May 2016with papers to be completed by
15 July 2016All papers will be peer reviewed and should be submitted in Australian Geomechanics journal format (the details of which will be forwarded to authors at a later stage). All abstracts and papers should be sent to Sam Mirlatifi at [email protected]
By submitting a paper for the Symposium, the author(s) are giving permission for the AGS to publish the paper in the proceedings and other AGS national publications.
SUGGESTED TOPICSThe followings are some suggested topics for this Symposium:
• Soft Soil Consolidation and Creep • Sand and Gravel Piles, Stone
Columns and Rigid Inclusions• Geosynthetics Reinforcement• Surface and Deep Compaction,
and Vibroflotation• Grouting and Chemical Stabilization• Electro-kinetic, Electro-osmotic,
Bioengineering,• Thermal and Explosion-based
Techniques • Methods of Preventing Soil Erosion,
Scour and Internal Piping• Ground Control in Underground
and Surface Mine Excavations • Methods of Stabilisation of slopes
and Mass Movement• Surface and Sub-surface Drainage• Stabilisation of Fractured and
Jointed Rock-mass
OVERVIEW OF THE 2016 SYMPOSIUMThe 2016 AGS Symposium will present the state-of-the-art practices, innovative technologies, new research results and case histories in construction and design towards advanced stabilisation techniques, cost effective approaches and better management systems for multi-disciplinary issues.
The goal of this symposium is to provide professional engineers, researchers, specialist contractors, regulators, educators and students the opportunity to meet and share their knowledge and experiences in this area.
This symposium will bring together engineers, geologists, and researchers who are interested on new advances in ground stabilisation techniques, design, analysis, lessons learnt from major Australian projects and experiences in geotechnical aspects of ground improvement.
