Seminar: Geotechnical Advances in Urban Renewal: Analysis & Design - 3rd Announcement (20-Apr-2010)

TNO DIANA BV is now pleased to announce the timetable for the International Geotechnical Seminar "Geotechnical Advances in Urban Renewal: Analysis & Design".  

The event will take place on 20th April at Imperial College London, South Kensington Campus on Exhibition Road in the Pippard Lecture Theatre (level 5) of the Sherfield Building.   Directions to the campus can be found on the Imperial College Website.

Due to the large number of registrants for this event you will need to reserve a place by submitting a registration form.

Confirmed Speakers are as follows:

1. Dr Subhamoy Bhattacharya (University of Bristol):  Simplified dynamic soil-structure interaction analysis.  
2. Dr Andrew Bond (Geocentrix/Geomantix):  Eurocode 7:  the more things remain the same, the more things change!
3. Professor George Exadaktylos (Technical University of Crete):  Spatial estimation of geotechnical parameters for numerical tunnelling simulations and TBM performance models.
4. Mr Rodney Meadth (Cobalt Construction Company):  Large diameter segmentally lined shafts.   
5. Mr Alexander Nikolic (Buro Happold): The tale of stability and serviceability  
6. Professor Kenichi Soga (Cambridge University):  Foundation optimisation and its application to pile reuse.   
7. Professor Fulvio Tonon (University of Texas at Austin):  Application of the ADECO (Analysis of COntrolled DEformations) in urban tunnelling; case histories.  
8. Dr Hoe Yeow (Arup Geotechnics):  Do Eurocodes make a difference?  - in soft ground tunnel design.  
9. Dr Kurt Zeidler (Gall Zeidler Consultants LLC):  Soft ground tunnelling, NATM/SCL, special applications and methods.

This international seminar will bring together consultants, contractors, geotechnical engineers, and scholars in the geotechnical & tunnel engineering field. It provides a forum for the presentation of a broad spectrum of “State-of-the-Practice” on analysis and design in urban renewal topics. Please join us for what promises to be an interesting and informative program.

Who Should Attend:  All  professionals and students who are involved in geotechnical and tunnel engineering analysis, design, construction and research.
