António Gomes Correia will be one of the
eleven
Honour Lectures’ speakers presented during the 19th International Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (19th ICSMGE). The conference, which will take place in Seoul, Republic of Korea, from the 17th to the 22nd September 2017, will count on the most renowned researchers worldwide on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering.
The honour lecture will be entitled “From Fundamentals to Applications in Compaction: Recent Developments in Embankments and Structural Layers of Pavements and Railways”.
To António Gomes Correia, this invitation represents an international peer recognition of his long research and professional career in the field of Transportation Geotechnics.
The Proctor Lecture was proposed by the TC202 of International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE) and approved in the Council meeting of ISSMGE in Paris, September 2013, to commemorate the significant contributions of the late Engineer Ralph Roscoe Proctor. The lecture would be delivered by the world's most distinguished achievers in Transportation Geotechnics. This memorial Lecture is organised as the main honour lecture in Transportation Geotechnics, nominated by the ISSMGE-TC202.
The first Proctor Lecture was presented by Professor Buddhima Indraratna, from the University of Wollongong, Australia, during the 3rd International Conference on Transportation Geotechnics, which took place in Guimarães in September 2016.
