5th International Conference on Transportation Geotechnics 2024

Date: November 20-22, 2024
Location: Sydney Masonic Centre, Sydney Australia

The conference will cover the following themes.

• Mechanistic-empirical design (road, railways, airfields, waterways and harbor facilities)

• Optimized characteristics of geomaterials (e.g. hydraulically bound materials & asphalt mixtures)

• Recycled materials in road and rail embankments and sub-structural layers

• Sustainability in transportation geotechnics

• Fundamentals of road and rail geotechnics

• Offshore soil improvement, port development and harbour geotechnics

• Dynamics of transportation infrastructure and numerical modelling

• Soft Subgrade Instability including yielding and fluidisation (experimental and numerical)

• Behaviour of airfields and pavement structures

• Transition zones for railways

• Applied ground improvement methods for transportation infrastructure

• Stabilisation and reinforcement of geomaterials and waste materials

• Geosynthetics in transportation applications

• Geotechnics in underground transportation including tunnels

• Use of rigid inclusions and retaining structures for enhanced stability

• Pile-supported transport infrastructure

• Geotechnical-seismic vulnerability of transportation infrastructures

• Subsurface sensing for transportation infrastructure

• Intelligent construction in earthworks technology and management

• Climatic effects on the behavioral transformation of geomaterials

• Properties and behavior of Unsaturated subgrade and compacted fills

• Slope stability and risk management in relation to transport corridors

• Transport asset management

• Planning and design of mega transport projects

Papers are due on November 30, 2023.
