The 29^th Prague Geotechnical Days international conference focused on issue of Cyclic Loading of Geotechnical Structures will be held on May 22–23, 2023

We kindly invite you to attend the 29^th Prague Geotechnical Days international conference. The conference will be held from 22^nd – 23^rd of May 2023 in Prague. Leading experts from the Norwegian Geotechnical Institute (Norway), University of Oxford and University of Bristol (United Kingdom), Technische Universität Darmstadt (Germany), Silesian University of Technology (Poland), Massachusetts Institute of Technology and University of California (USA) will give lectures on May 22, 2023, at the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic. Lecture blocks will be completed by the 29^th Prague Geotechnical Lecture. Professor Yannis Dafalias from University of California, National Technical University of Athens, and Institute of Thermomechanics (CAS, Prague) will present the topic of Critical State Constitutive Modeling of Sands within Bounding Surface Plasticity, and Application to Centrifuge Data for Geotechnical Structures under Cyclic Loading. The workshop led by the professor will take place on May 23, 2023, at the Faculty of Science of Charles University on the topic Fabric Anisotropy within Anisotropic Critical State Theory. As part of the Prague Geotechnical Days, the prestigious Quido Zaruba Award for the Young Engineering Geologists and Geotechnical Engineers will also be presented for the most remarkable projects in engineering geology and geotechnics.
