Numerical Methods in Geotechnical Engineering - Proceedings 2006






Preface

The 6th Conference on Numerical Methods in Geotechnical Engineering held in Graz, Austria, from September 6

to 8, 2006, is a continuation of a series of conferences organized by the European Regional Technical Committee

ERTC7 (Numerical Methods in Geotechnical Engineering) under the auspices of the International Society for Soil

Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE). Previous meetings were held in Stuttgart, Germany (1986),

Santander, Spain (1990), Manchester, UK (1994), Udine, Italy (1998) and Paris, France (2002).

The meeting has been intended to provide a forum for exchange of ideas and discussion on important issues

related to numerical analysis in geotechnical engineering. Special emphasis has been given to presentations of

young researchers and it was attempted to provide a good balance between scientists and practitioners. The results

of a benchmark exercise, namely the ULS-design of an embedded wall, are also presented at the conference.

A novel feature of this conference is the participation of the Technical Committee “Ground Improvement”

(TC17) of the ISSMGE in form of organizing a special session on “Numerical Modelling in Ground

Improvement” which provides a state-of-the-art coverage of this increasingly important topic.
