International Symposium on Design and Practice of Geosynthetic-Reinforced Soil Structures

This symposium is held to honor the research achievement of Prof. Dov Leshchinsky. He is a world-renowned researcher and educator on reinforced soils and has been a professor of geotechnical engineering at the University of Delaware for more than 30 years. The symposium will be held under the auspices of the International Geosynthetics Society, the Italian Geotechnical Association, TC 101 & TC 305 of the International Society of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Geo-Institute, Department of Civil, Environmental and Materials Engineering (DICAM), University of Bologna, University of Delaware, and Japanese research institutes (Public Works Research Institute, Railway Technical Research Institute and National Institute for Rural Engineering). A total of 14 firms participated as industrial sponsors. Symposium topics A total of 70 papers has been accepted for publication and presentation in the symposium. The papers cover a wide range of topics, and a full list is available online.  Geosynthetic-reinforced soil retaining walls  Geosynthetic-reinforced soil slopes  Construction of reinforced embankments over soft soil  Geotextile tubes  Geosynthetic-reinforced soil structures for railways and highways  Properties of backfill soils, geosynthetics, and soil-geosynthetic interaction
