Object of the workshop

Substantial progress has been made in soil investigations during the past century. Our abilities to asses subsurface conditions, predict soil behaviour and accommodate this behaviour using appropriate designs are now far better than before.

Geotechnical engineers continue to face new technical challenges. High cost of real estate, especially in urban areas, often dictates the need to build on sites with poor soil conditions or sites rejected in the past. These difficult sites pose special problems and have resulted in the development of many new techniques for soil improvements.

The case studies pertaining to such advanced techniques as applied in different types of construction projects are proposed to be discussed during this workshop.
