11th International Symposium on Field Monitoring in Geomechanics (ISFMG)

Introduction

This event is part of a series of Symposia that have been staged roughly every four years since the early 1980s. Originally titled FMGM (Field Measurements in Geomechanics) the name was recently changed when responsibility for organising the Symposia passed to the newly formed TC220 (part of the International Society of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, ISSMGE).

The Symposium will include the inaugural ISSMGE Dunnicliff Honour Lecture to be given by Allen Marr (CEO of Geocomp Inc.). John Dunnicliff was an inspirational leader in this subject and it is very fitting that he will be remembered and honoured in this way. There will also be presentations from across a wide range of applications including slopes, tunnels and other types of construction.

The conference will include the traditional Young Person’s Paper Competition and announce the venue for the next Symposium in 2026.

The Symposium will be accompanied by an exhibition to showcase all that is new in field instrumentation and allow delegates to catch up with representatives of the major suppliers. The will also be a social and accompanying persons programme.
