June 04, 2015 - June 06, 2015 | Poppi, Italy
Tuscany
Following the great success of the first edition of this course in 2014, sold out two months before the beginning of the course, with 100 participants from 27 countries and 24 partners, we are now pleased to announce the second edition of the “International Course on Geotechnical and Structural Monitoring” that will be held from 4th to 6th June 2015, again in the beautiful Tuscany. Based on our evaluations of the first edition, the course will include some new topics and new speakers, and more time for networking.
The last day will be a workshop with lecturers given by leading experts from industry and academia, including John Burland, Michele Jamiolkowski and Elmo DiBiagio, and with interactive sessions. The workshop is intended to reinforce the vital contribution of monitoring to the success of engineering projects.”
Geological processes and exploitation of our planet’s resources continuously lead to potentially dangerous interactions with our lives. Monitoring the behaviour of the ground and of structures and infrastructure is essential for safety reasons, quality control, optimization of construction and reduction of costs and time in engineering practice. Geotechnical and structural monitoring is crucial for a sustainable development.
The course will focus on the words of wisdom by Dr. Ralph B. Peck “We need to carry out a vast amount of observational work, but what we do should be done for a purpose and done well.”
Attendance at the course will be a great opportunity to establish a valuable network with colleaguesfrom all over the world, to meet manufacturers and see displays of the most recent and innovative instrumentation.
