Regrettably, as those of you who attempted to view Prof Alonso’s Lecture online last night discovered, there was a technical hitch by Imperial College’s Audio Visual Department so that the live online viewing link we had distributed failed. Some viewers managed to locate the correct link but missed the opening 20 minutes or so of the presentation while searching for it.
Last night after an entertaining and informative 57th Rankine Lecture delivered by Eduardo Alonso, the 58th Rankine Lecturer was announced at the Rankine Dinner.
The BGA ECG warmly invite attendees to networking drinks following Professor Alonso’s Rankine Lecture 2017. The h-bar is located downstairs from the main lecture theatre and directions will be given on the night.
Full details of the venue will follow on the meetings page.
The field of Energy Geotechnics focusses on geotechnical issues associated with infrastructure designed to meet the rising energy demand. These problems typically subject geomaterials to complex loading conditions of mechanical, hydraulic, thermal and chemical origin, leading to the need to understand, characterise and model highly-coupled phenomena. In this half-day seminar, recent developments in the field of Energy Geotechnics will be presented focusing on both fundamental and applied research. The first part of the seminar will be dedicated to the development of numerical, experimental and physical modelling tools required for the characterisation and modelling of heat transfer in soils and its interaction with their hydro-mechanical behaviour. The second part will demonstrate practical applications of ground source energy and how this affects the design of geotechnical structures, concluding with an in-depth analysis of thermo-hydro-mechanical interactions in nuclear repositories.
Engineering in Chalk is a major two-day international conference organized by the British Geotechnical Association (BGA) with support from the Engineering Group of the Geological Society (EGGS), and will be held on 17th and 18th September 2018 at Imperial College in London.
Another year has come and gone and an exciting programme awaits BGA members for 2017. Flyers, booking arrangements and full details of all BGA events are available on the BGA website at www.britishgeotech.org.uk.
