Introduction

IS‐Buenos Aires 2015

6th International Symposium on Deformation Characteristics of Geomaterials

15 – 18th November 2015, Buenos Aires

IS‐Buenos Aires 2015 is prepared under the success of previous symposia: IS‐Hokkaido 1994, IS‐Torino 1999, IS‐Lyon 2003, IS‐Atlanta 2008, and IS‐Seoul 2011. The conference will take place in parallel with the XV Panamerican conference on Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering. This symposium focuses on understanding of the deformation properties of geomaterials before failure, and especially on pointing out the small strain shear modulus as a fundamental characteristic of geomaterials.

See the ISSMGE Technical Committee 101 website for further information.

Conference dates: 15 – 18th November 2015

Abstracts by: July 2014

Early bird registration: July 2015
