About the Conference

56th Annual Geotechnical Engineering Conference

This is the 56th 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 integration of geotechnical and structural design in tunneling, enzyme products for subgrade stabilization, soil strength and slope stability, rapidly deployed geo-based systems for blast resistance, practical aspects of implementation of AASHTO-LRFD procedures, intelligent compaction, 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.
