Ground Support 2023 will cover the latest developments and applications of ground support in mining where the objective is to mitigate rockfall. The series of events has evolved over the years to cover all areas of mining related ground support and provide a documented timeline of the significant advancements in ground support technology and practice in the last 38 years. These are reflected in the improved safety statistics and performance of excavations.

Abstract submissions are due April 14, 2023 via ProMPT

The SUTs Offshore Site Investigation and Geotechnics (OSIG) committee is pleased to announce that its 9th international conference, Innovative Geotechnologies for Energy Transition, will take place from 12-14 September 2023 at Imperial College in South Kensington, London. This conference continues the aims of this established series of disseminating and communicating the latest developments in all aspects of marine geotechnology.

This symposium will focus on the understanding of the deformation properties of geomaterials before failure, especially on the small-strain stiffness parameters as fundamental characteristics of geomaterials, and their implications in geotechnical design. Key themes include experimental investigations from very small strains to beyond failure; behaviour, characterization and modelling of various geomaterials and interfacess; and practical prediction and interpretation of ground response: field observation and case histories.

Submission of abstracts are due May 5, 2023 and paper drafts due June 30, 2023.
