Conference and Exhibition

The International Conference on Transportation Geotechnics (ICTG) was first held at the niversity of Nottingham in 2008, which had been selected as host by TC3 (Geotechnics of Pavements) of the ISSMGE. The conference was a great success and significantly promoted co-operation and exchanges of information and knowledge concerning the geotechnical aspects of the design, construction, maintenance and monitoring of pavements and related transportation infrastructure. The 2nd ICTG will offer speciality sessions to discuss some issues essential for further development of transportation geotechnics (e.g. unsaturated soils, frost geotechnics, advanced laboratory testing) in addition to the topics addressed in the 1st ICTG. This conference will comprise parallel sessions over a 3-day period and will include keynote lectures, oral presentations and discussions. Sessions will be chaired by internationally recognized academics and practitioners. Three workshops are also planned.

The conference is being organized, under the auspices of the ISSMGE, by the Hokkaido Branch and the TC202 (Transportation Geotechnics, former TC3) national committee of the Japanese Geotechnical Society in association with TC202 of the ISSMGE. Co-operation is also provided by TC101 (Laboratory Stress-Strain Strength Testing of Geomaterials), TC106 (Unsaturated Soils) and TC216 (Frost Geotechnics) of the ISSMGE.

One of the highlights of the conference will be the technical exhibition, to take place in the Conference hall. It will demonstrate a complete range of products and state-of-the-art technologies relevant to Transportation Geotechnics.
