4. TC306 Geo-Engineering Education Survey - A message from the Officers of TC306
Dear ISSMGE member,
If you are an instructor in a civil engineering department, please contribute to a TC306 Geo-Engineering Education survey. The title of the survey is “What Geotechnical Engineering Educational Material can we dream of?”
If you have very limited time but don’t want to miss the opportunity to contribute, just jump to Question 11 (the only required): Please imagine and describe the “educational material of your dreams”.
You will find the questionnaire here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/TC306
Best regards,
Marina Pantazidou and Michele Calvello
(Chair and Secretary of TC306)
5. Are We Overdesigning? A survey of international practice
A joint initiative by the CAPG, the YMPG, TC2015 - Safety and Serviceability and TC304 - Risk. The survey is intended to assess the consistency of calculation models and design methods for a variety of geotechnical structures, and where possible, to compare the results with full scale tests and reliability analyses. To participate in the survey please go to https://www.issmge.org/news/are-we-overdesigning-a-survey-of-international-practice.
