About the Conference

61st Annual Geotechnical Engineering Conference

This is the 61st offering of the University of Minnesota Geotechnical Engineering Conference. The Planning Committee, whose members represent the contracting industry, government agencies, the University, and consulting engineers, has developed a program offering technical information and discussion on current topics for the geotechnical engineering community. Topics at the conference will cover blast-induced vibration, stability of shallow tunnels, the observational method applied to embankment design, geotechnical engineering education, land-based disposal facilities, geosynthetic reinforced soil, and recent case histories. The conference provides a forum to interact with peers, meet specialty contractors, and hear researchers and practitioners discuss theory and application of geomechanics. Civil engineers, architects, planners, contractors, and geologists with an interest in geotechnical engineering will benefit by attending this conference.
