On the first full day of technical sessions at EuroGeo 5, Daniele Cazzuffi (CESI SpA, Italy), José María González (TRAGSATEC; ATEBA, Spain), and Ian Peggs (I-CORP INTERNATIONAL, Inc., USA) will chair a major session on Hydraulic Structures. This is also the IV International Symposium on Water Reservoirs.
The three co-chairs are all veterans of the field and bring with them a considerable amount of testing laboratory, materials engineering, design, and forensic experience. Supported by an impressive collection of practitioners in the papers, this symposium promises to get the deeper level technical discussions underway quickly in Valencia.
EuroGeo 5 (Valencia, Spain, 16-19 September) is the fifth European regional conference on geosynthetics and is being held under the auspices of the International Geosynthetics Society (IGS). IGS Spain is hosting this installment of the quadrennial event, which was last held in Edinburgh, Scotland in 2008.
The hydraulic structures and waster reservoir symposium will feature a large array of containment engineering discussions, from long-term performance of various geomembranes to the incorporation of geotextile sensors; design evolutions to major case studies; and nanocomposites, drainage system aging, and much more.
Presentations of the September 17 morning session include:
