Participation has been confirmed as guest speakers by Professors JUAN CARLOS SANTAMARINA, Georgia Institute of Technology-USA; LAURENCE WESLEY, University of Auckland, New Zealand; GABRIEL AUVINET, Universidad Autónoma de México; and LEONARDO CASCINI, International School on Landslides Risk Assessment and Mitigation (Laram) -Salerno
University-Italy.
118 abstracts were received, of which 79 are for the Colombian Geotechnical Congress and 39 are for the South American Young Geotechnical Engineers Conference. Papers that are finally approved will be presented in the course of the sessions on topics related to Geotechnical Characterization and Numerical and Physical Modelling, Slope Stability, Foundations, Underground Excavations, Geological Hazards and Climatic Change. In the attached preliminary technical program the distribution of main lectures and presentation of papers for both events is illustrated. During the technical sessions, there will be simultaneous translation service (english-spanish).
