IS-PORTO 2023 8th International Symposium on Deformation Charactteristics of Geomaterials

3rd to the 6th September | FEUP

The Technical Committee on Laboratory Stress-Strain-Strength Testing of Geomaterials (TC101) of the International Society of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE), endorsed by the Portuguese Geotechnical Society (SPG) and the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (FEUP), invite you to participate in IS-PORTO 2023: 8th International Symposium on Deformation Characteristics of Geomaterials to be held from the 3rd to the 6th September 2023 in Porto.

IS-Porto 2023 aims to continue the success of previous symposia: Hokkaido 1994, Torino 1999, Lyon 2003,Atlanta 2008, Seoul 2011, Buenos Aires 2015 and Glasgow 2019. 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. 

The main objectives of this symposium are:

• Research and development in advanced laboratory geotechnical testing, including apparatus, techniques, data acquisition and interpretation.
• How to deal with laboratory test equipment, methods and results to represent in situ conditions
• Application of multiple information from laboratory and field testing, including geophysical testing, to integrate site characterization and ground modelling.
• Laboratory load controlled tests in geomaterials that can experience softening, associated to concepts such as 'instability', collapse and 'failure'.
• Demonstration of practical engineering applications: reports of collaborative studies on laboratory and field testing, sampling, theoretical and numerical analysis, project engineering and full-scale observation.
