Abstract

GeoShanghai 2024 International Conference Volume 5: Advances in Soil Dynamics and Geohazards Shanghai, 26-29 May, 2024 GeoShanghai 2024 International ConferenceCollege of Civil Engineering, Tongji University, 2024All Rights ReservedGeoShanghai is a series of international conferences on geotechnical engineering held in Shanghai quadrennially. The conference was inaugurated in 2006 and was successfully held in 2010, 2014 and 2018, with more than 1600 participants in total. Since the last conference, the geotechnical community has witnessed many advances both in fundamental understanding and engineering practices. To demonstrate the latest developments and promote collaborations in geotechnical engineering and related fields, we launch the 5th GeoShanghai International Conference to be held in May 2024.This volume provides a comprehensive exploration of the behavior of soils when exposed to complex environmental conditions and their effects. This topic focuses on original research that delves into these natural hazards from different perspectives including understanding their mechanisms, predicting their occurrences, monitoring their activities in real time, and implementing effective mitigation strategies. It is worth noting that recent advancements in technology have significantly contributed to this field of study. The integration of coupled numerical modeling techniques has allowed researchers to simulate complex scenarios more accurately than ever before. Additionally, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning algorithms have played an instrumental role in analyzing vast amounts of data collected from various sources such as sensors or images. These cutting-edge technologies have opened up new avenues for research in geohazards by providing insights into patterns and trends that were previously difficult to discern.This volume received a total of 74 papers from countries such as China, United States, Japan, and others, totaling 68 papers accepted. All papers were reviewed and the accepted papers will be submitted to IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science indexed by Scopus.Cordially yours,Tong Qiu, Chen Wang, Katerina Ziotopoulou, Lijun Deng, Xuefei WangThe editors of Volume 5: Advances in Soil Dynamics and GeohazardsList of Tracks, Conference Steering Committee, International Advisory Committee, Technical Committee, Organizing Committee are avialble in this pdf.
