COURSE
The 5th International Course on Geotechnical and Structural Monitoring, organized again by Paolo Mazzanti and directed by John Dunnicliff, will follow the same general format of past successful editions. However, some relevant innovations will characterize this edition, such as the venue and a significantly renewed panel of speakers.
Following the great success of the 2017 course, also in this edition three special sessions will be dedicated to the presentation of the new trends on geotechnical and structural monitoring covering the following topics:
-
New Trends in Contact Monitoring
-
New Trends in Remote Monitoring
-
New Trends in Vibration Monitoring and Data Transmission and Management
Furthermore, the most challenging Case Histories will be selected by those submitted by course participants and will be part of the course schedule.
Would you like to share your work and experience with the attendees of the 5th International Course on Geotechnical and Structural Monitoring?
TOPICS
This is a course for practitioners, held by practitioners with wide field experience. The emphasis is on why and how to monitor field performance.
The course is structured in 3-days course (22nd - 24th May, 2018), 1-day Master Classes (21st May, 2018) and a half day Field trip (25th May, 2018).
