AIT expert seminars in Geotechnical Engineering


Since 2008, AIT has successful organized of 9 expert seminars in Geotechnical Engineering aiming to share the achievements in research and education in this field with Vietnamese experts and researchers.  The Seminars were organized by AITVN or by AITVN and AIT’s partners (joint seminars) in both Ha Noi and HCM city. The seminars attracted more than 40 participants per each seminar, the seminars were organized in accordance to the following topics were discussed. 

1.       The first seminar in June 2008 on “Some Geotechnical Challenges and Solutions for Infrastructure Development”
                                 i.            Some advances in Characterization of soft clay and application of near-surface geophysical techniques in geotechnical engineering.
                               ii.            Ground Improvement Technology for Vietnam soft soil
                              iii.            Stiffened deep mixing method (SDCM) using cement clay admixture 

2.       The second seminar in March 2009 on “Construction and Development of Infrastructure in Vietnam- Trend and Challenge”
                                 i.            Geotechnical Engineering and Management for infrastructure Development 

3.       The third seminar in 2010 on“ Engineering the Future-An innovative Development application for Sustainable Development”
                                 i.            Flood control for the Chao Phraya River and Bangkok Flood Protection and Drainage
                               ii.            Earthquake Engineering 

4.       The forth seminar in March 2011 on “Geotechnical in context of Climate change”
                                 i.            Monitoring and Early warning of landslide, experiences in Japan and Thailand
                               ii.            Detection of natural and man-made underground cavities 

5.       The fifth seminar in June 2011 on “Urban Deep excavation and Tunnelling” 

6.       The 6th  seminar in April 2012 on “New geotechnical code developments in Japan and the world” 

7.       The 7th  seminar in April 2012 on “ Landslide monitoring in Thailand and lesson for Vietnam” 

8.       The 8th seminar in May 2012 on “ Soft soil treatment for HCM-Long Thanh- Dau Giay Expressway” 

9.       The 9th seminar in May 2012 on “ Infrastructure engineering and Development”
                                 i.            Analysis of groundwater recovery and consolidation and their effect on substructure
                               ii.            Highway technology
The 10th seminar will be organized soon on coming months, if you were not be able to attend mentioned seminar, should not miss the coming seminar. We will keep on post to you on that.
