The Australian Geomechanics Society (AGS) Sydney Chapter is holding its 25th annual Symposium on Friday 12 November 2021, ‘Geotechnical Lessons Learnt – Building and Transport Infrastructure Projects’. The symposium forms part of the continuing program of events organised by the AGS Sydney Chapter. It aims to keep the engineering industry informed of recent geotechnical advances in building and transport infrastructure projects, as well as the challenges and opportunities out there.
Overview
The symposium will showcase state-of-the-art practices, new research findings and case histories that demonstrate geotechnical advances and challenges in building and transport infrastructure projects. The organising committee invites papers on geotechnical aspects of building and transport infrastructure projects, underground structures, specialist testing and application of smart technologies.
The symposium presents an opportunity for professional engineers, researchers, specialist contractors, regulators, educators and students to meet and share their knowledge and experiences in geotechnical engineering.
