  • The 8Th ISEV 2018 to Be Held in Changsha, China on October 27-28, 2018 Under the Auspices of ISSMGE TC202
    The 8th ISEV 2018 to be held in Changsha, China on October 27-28, 2018 under the auspices of ISSMGE TC202 Invitation The 8th International Symposium on Environmental Vibration and Transportation Geodynamics (formerly named as the International Symposium on Environmental Vibration) will be held at the Central South University (CSU) located in Changsha, the capital city of Hunan Province, China on October 27-28, 2018. Hunan Province, being at the crossroads of China’s transportation networks, is a logical location for this symposium, and the CSU is in a unique position to host it with its highly ranked School of Civil Engineering, its prominent transportation/railroad centers and programs, and a long-standing reputation of cutting-edge research on railroad engineering and transportation infrastructure. The first ISEV symposium was initiated by H. Takemiya of Okayama University, Japan and Yunmin Chen of Zhejiang University, China, and held in Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China in 2003. The subsequent six symposia were successfully convened in Okayama University, Japan (2005), National Taiwan University, Taipei (2007), Beijing Jiaotong University, China (2009), Southwest Jiaotong University, China (2011), Tongji University, China (2013), and Zhejiang University, China (2016), respectively. With the increasing impact over academia and industry, the symposia have attracted much attention from government officials, scientific and research communities, and engineering professionals. Geotechnical challenges associated with dynamic loads on railroad track and road pavements often require scientific and technological breakthroughs for design innovations. To effectively reflect such frontiers, this symposium was renamed as International Symposium on Environmental Vibration and Transportation Geodynamics in 2016 and held under the auspices of the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE) TC202 Transportation Geotechnics Committee.
