International Symposium on Advances in Ground Technology and Geo-Information(IS-AGTG)
O w4 _0l& 1-2 Dec 2011, Singapore
NVb}uH*i jUm-!SK}q ~Y/A]N86, INTRODUCTION
=R=V The growth of mega cities has been particularly dramatic across parts of Asia. The need for quality living
6o^>q&e}% space coupled with the increasing density of infrastructural development poses unprecedented challenges
C*2%Ix18+N and opportunities for the geo-industry. The purpose of this international symposium is to provide a
8lV:-"+5 platform to showcase recent advances in ground technology and geo-information systems. Innovative
e Jo" Z technology and their effective applications are needed to:
Q|)>9m!tt (1) Propel productivity in the geo-industry;
i]c{(gd` (2) Respond to more complex technical challenges in the development of underground space;
%NQ%6 B (3) Support increasing social demand for sustainable and responsible development – green technology
8@rYT5e3c being one of the recent topical examples.
? uYO]!V C This symposium is jointly organized by Geotechnical Society of Singapore (GeoSS), National University of
c eG\Q2 Singapore (NUS), and Tongji University. The main theme in this symposium is on geo-innovations
