GeoHunan International Conference II:
Emerging Technologies for Design, Construction, Rehabilitation, and Inspections of Transportation Infrastructures
June 6-8, 2011
Zhangjiajie (Hunan Province), China
The first GeoHunan International Conference was held in Changsha (Hunan province), China in 2009 and proved to be a huge success by drawing more than 250 attendees from 25 countries. Riding the momentum of the success of GeoHunan 2009, we anticipate that there will be even more participants for GeoHunan 2011. The nine Geotechnical Special Publications (GSP) (#189 to #197) from the GeoHunan International Conference 2009 have been posted on ASCE's e-library and the feed provided to EI.
On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we are pleased to invite you to attend the GeoHunan International Conference 2011 to be held in Zhangjiajie (Hunan Province), China, June 6-8, 2011. This emerging techniques conference for design, construction, and inspection of transportation infrastructures is endorsed by a number of leading international professional organizations.
One of the main objectives of transportation authorities is to provide safe transportation facilities for effective and efficient movement of people and goods. This conference will provide a showcase for recent developments and advancements in design, construction, and safety inspections of transportation infrastructures and offer a forum to discuss and debate future directions for the 21st century. Conference topics cover a broad array of contemporary issues for professionals involved in bridge, pavement, geotechnical, tunnel, and emerging techniques for safety inspections. You will have the opportunity to meet colleagues from all over the world and engage in technical, scientific, and commercial discussions.
Hunan is one of the largest commercial provinces and economic centers in China. It is being developed into a modern, international, economic, financial, and trade center. Recent rapid construction in China has provided great opportunities for bridge, pavement, geotechnical, and tunnel engineers to use their knowledge and talents to solve many challenging problems involving highway bridge structures, pavements, materials, ground improvement, slopes, excavations, and tunnels with innovative solutions and cutting-edge technologies.
More detailed information for the conference is provided in the announcement [PDF] .
