The proposed Symposium will provide a forum for researchers, engineers, and students in the area of geomechanics to present recent and future work pertaining to modeling and simulation of geomaterials and geotechnical systems. The scope of the Symposium is broad, and contributions from all areas of geomechanics are welcome. These include, but are not limited to, the following:

– computational methods
– geotechnical analysis
– constitutive modeling of geomaterials
– geomaterial and geostructure characterization
– soil-structure interaction
– geohazards
– chemo-mechanics
– stability and bifurcation
– fracture and crushing
– plasticity and limit analysis
– monitoring and remote sensing
– multi-physics processes in soils, rocks and granular media

Keywords: infrastructure, computational mechanics
