The ICPMG series has grown such that two volumes of proceedings were required to publish all contributions. The books represent a substantial body of work in four years. \u003cb\u003ePhysical Modelling in Geotechnics \u003c\/b\u003econtains 230 papers, including eight keynote and themed lectures representing the state-of-the-art in physical modelling research in aspects as diverse as fundamental modelling including sensors, imaging, modelling techniques and scaling, onshore and offshore foundations, dams and embankments, retaining walls and deep excavations, ground improvement and environmental engineering, tunnels and geohazards including significant contributions in the area of seismic engineering. ISSMGE TC104 have identified areas for special attention including education in physical modelling and the promotion of physical modelling to industry. With this in mind there is a special themed paper on education, focusing on both undergraduate and postgraduate teaching as well as practicing geotechnical engineers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePhysical modelling has entered a new era with the advent of exciting work on real time interfaces between physical and numerical modelling and the growth of facilities and expertise that enable development of so called 'megafuges' of 1000gtonne capacity or more; capable of modelling the largest and most complex of geotechnical challenges. \u003cb\u003ePhysical Modelling in Geotechnics \u003c\/b\u003ewill be of interest to professionals, engineers and academics interested or involved in geotechnics, geotechnical engineering and related areas. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 9th International Conference on Physical Modelling in Geotechnics was organised by the Multi Scale Geotechnical Engineering Research Centre at City, University of London under the auspices of Technical Committee 104 of the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE). City, University of London, are pleased to host the prestigious international conference for the first time having initiated and hosted the first regional conference, Eurofuge, ten years ago in 2008. Quadrennial regional conferences in both Europe and Asia are now well established events giving doctoral researchers, in particular, the opportunity to attend an international conference in this rapidly evolving specialist area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew McNamara\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 113855975X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138559752\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/24\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Andrew McNamara","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48113279205631,"sku":"9781138559752","price":270.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b29f677a-a946-4de4-8eed-bd0846df5ba0.jpg?v=1769614050","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/physical-modelling-in-geotechnics-andrew-mcnamara-9781138559752","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
