The 3rd International Seminar on Earthworks in Europe, organised by BASt (German Federal Highway Research Institute), FGSV (German Road and Transportation Research Association) and TUM (Technische Universität München, Zentrum Geotechnik) will take place in Berlin, Germany from 19th to 20th March 2012. The conference is a succession of the two conferences which took place successfully in Paris, France in 2005 and in London, United Kingdom in 2009. This international seminar is to be organised as the third of a planned long term series of events to discuss and promote technical progress and understanding of recent developments/issues in the design and construction of earthworks in European countries.
It will seek to:
• Promote the disciplines of Engineering Geology and Geotechnical Engineering in the design of earthworks for transport infrastructure,
• Encourage dialogue between earthworks professionals throughout Europe and the enhancement of pan European linkages and collaboration,
• Facilitate discource on national practices and the establishment of European standards,
• Encourage an increase in coordinated earthworks research.
The conference should work out the European aspects of these subjects. Contributions from specialists from all over the world are invited to help to achieve these objectives. Participation in the conference will provide a common platform for earthworks professionals including engineers and geologists, project owners/clients, construction/project managers, general and earthworks contractors, supply chain partners and equipment manufactures.
