       4.About term of reference of TC 305 by Prof. Der Wen Chang, Tamkang University,Taipei, Taiwan ( Secretary of TC 305)

 

            Objective 1: Dissemination

Disseminate knowledge and practice on design and practice of geotechnical technologies at megacities and new capitals to the members of ISSMGE.

 

FACTS: TC305 has fulfilled this mission by sharing the results of relevant research work and technologies through the Symposium, Workshop and Discussion Session at the occasions of many international events. A good example can be found as the Minute Report of TC305 Workshop at 2017 ICSMGE (see attached). A number of renowned scholars were invited to demonstrate their remarkable geo-technic experiences and shared with the audience. Such materials can be found in following website https://www.issmge.org/filemanager/article/488/Papers_presented_at_TC305_Worshop.pdf

 

            Objective 2: Guidelines and Recommendations

Establish guidelines and technical recommendations on design and practice of geotechnical technologies at megacities and new capitals.

FACTS: Due to limited resources and wide spectrum of the possible subjects, this mission has not been done very much. It needs further discussions.

            Objective 3: Conference Assistance

Assist with technical programs of international and regional conferences organized by ISSMGE to present the impact of relevant technologies.

FACTS: TC 305 has done tremendous job on mission 3. The record is listed as follows,

September 17-22, 2017, 19ICSMGE, Seoul, September, TC305 Workshop and Discussion Session

October 13-17, 2019, 16ARC, Taipei, Taiwan, TC305 Discussion Session

 

            Objective 4: Industry Links

Interact with industry and other organizations working on design and practice of geotechnical technologies at megacities and new capitals.

       5.Discussion about displacements and settlements of soil ground ( data base) at during time of deep excavation in megacities- by Prof. Hoe Ling — Vice Chair of TC 305 , Columbia University,  New York, USA    

 

      Vice-Chairman of TC-305, PhD, Professor Hoe Ling (Columbia University, New York, USA) presented the report on topic “Displacements and settlements of soil ground (data base) at during time of deep excavation in megacities.”

In the end of the report, participants joined in discussion. The main topics were features of the design and construction of the underground part of high-rise buildings and structures, calculation of models of soil bases and the experience of the USA, Italy, Germany, Turkey, Japan, South Korea, India in the design and construction of underground and elevated structures, the development of underground space in complex ground conditions.

 

        6. Conclusion on themes of the TC 305

In the end, Professor A.Zhusupbekov reminded the meeting participants that they should prepare abstracts and papers for the 20th International Geotechnical Conference, which will be in September 2021 in Sydney (Australia).
