About the Conference
60th Annual Geotechnical Engineering Conference
This is the 60th 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 geosynthetic reinforced soil, earth pressure cells, performance monitoring, unsaturated soil mechanics, georisk, instrumentation, driven piles, and recent case histories from the state of Minnesota. 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.
