Bidbook Ecsmge2023 Istanbul BIDBOOK ECSMGE2023 ISTANBUL ecsmge2023istanbul ONE CITY THOUSANDS OF EMOTIONS www.ecsmge2023-istanbul.com 1 ECSMGE 2023 - ISTANBUL ECSMGE 2023 - ISTANBUL Looking forward to seeing you between two continents Close your eyes… Imagine yourself in a city. On your left side ancient walls built during Byzantium days stretching for tens of kilometers spreading its arms… On your right side; a tower dating back hundreds of years glimpses from the middle of a blue sea. Within your eyesight an open air museum with marvelous arches, magnificent mosques, glorious churches … Step under the terra, you enter a cistern with charming columns but watch out for an attractive Medusa waiting for you with curiosity. All these are hidden in İstanbul, waiting for you to explore. It is the city where ancient blends with modern, perpetually existing in harmony. With a history that can be traced back to the pleistocene era, İstanbul is one of the most visited places in the world, a central hub connecting East and West, an amalgam of the past and the future, bringing together cultures and people from all over the world. As one of the most prestigious capitals of the ancient and the modern world, İstanbul is also an ideal destination for international CONTENTS meetings with its world class convention venues and accommodation. 04 Letter of Intent 06 Brief History 22 About Turkey 08 Conference Themes 28 About Istanbul 10 Conference Activities 42 Dream Projects 12 Bid Committee 46 Social Programs 54 Support Letters 2 3 ECSMGE 2023 - ISTANBUL LETTER of INVITATION Words from the president Dear Colleague, On behalf of Turkish National Society , we would like to take this opportunity to express our intention and strong motivation to bid for the 18th ECSMGE. Our bid is for Istanbul and we would like to host our colleagues and accompanying guests in the best possible way in the beautiful surroundings of Istanbul. Istanbul served as the capital of three supreme empires; the Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire, and the Ottoman Empire. During the archeological excavation at the Yenikapi Marmaray construction site it has been discovered that Istanbul’s history dates back further than was previously thought, the unearthed graves reveal that Istanbul used to home the earliest settlements during the Stone Age. Istanbul has always been one of the most significant and sophisticated cities in the world and contributed to the richness of European culture. Istanbul is the only city in the world which spreads over two continents: It lies at a point where Asia and Europe are separated by a narrow strait - The Bosphorus. This is the city where KARL VON TERZAGHI started his pioneering work on soil mechanics. It is obvious that Turkish economy has a fast growing rate and derives its main power from the Civil Engineering sector. Regarding the infrastructure development Turkey is an emerging market in which geotechnical industry and expertise have an ever growing role. Today Istanbul is the hometown of mega projects like the submerged tunnel linking Asia with Europe; the deepest of its kind and the first to link two continents in the world, the Istanbul strait crossing, a canal parallel to the Bosphorus, the world’s largest airport, and a third bridge spanning the Bosphorus. We believe that Istanbul reflects the essence of Turkey, a gate of Europe to Asia and this will be themajor asset of ECSMGE 2023 in bringing together remarkable geotechnical expertise and outstanding experience of the West and the East. Considering the unforgettable success of 18th ICSMFE in Istanbul in 2001 we would like to welcome you again in Istanbul for an event full of outstanding memories for all. With best regards, Prof. S. Feyza Cinicioglu President of Turkish National Society for ISSMGE 4 5 ECSMGE 2023 - ISTANBUL ECSMGE 2023 - ISTANBUL BRIEF HISTORY Start by vision, grow with passion 70 Years of Soil Mechanics and the ITU Soil Mechanics Research Committee became one of the early members of the International Society of 15th International Conference on Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering (ISOSM) in Soil Mechanics and Foundation 1950. During the third international conference which convened in Zurich in 1953, it was decided that Turkey is Engineering held in Istanbul in 2001. a member of the European zone, among the five different zones recognized by ISOSM.

  • Atterberg, Casagrande, and Terzaghi
    Three Musketeers in Soils Testing: Atterberg, Casagrande, and Terzaghi By Tracy Barnhart, Quality Manager Posted: October 2014 Who in their right mind invented a test that involves making “worms” out of soil? Albert Atterberg, that’s who! The Atterberg limit tests, commonly known as liquid and plastic limit of soils, are named for Albert Mauritz Atterberg, a Swedish chemist and agricultural scientist. Atterberg was born in 1846. In 1872, he earned his Ph.D. in chemistry from Uppsala University in Sweden. Atterberg taught analytical chemistry at Uppsala for several years before becoming a principal of the Chemical Station and Seed Control Institute in Kalmar, Sweden. Atterberg was a late bloomer when it came to soil classification. It wasn’t until he was in his mid-50’s that Atterberg turned his attention to the classification and plasticity of soils. He is credited for determining that plasticity is a particular characteristic of clay, the most complex and unpredictable type of soil. In 1913, Atterberg’s soil classification work received formal recognition from the International Society of Soil Science. He was 67 years old at the time and he passed away three years later. Arthur Casagrande was born in 1902 in Austria, over a half century after Albert Atterberg. He attended the Technische Hochschule, a secondary school in Vienna from which he earned a degree in civil engineering in 1924. Casagrande’s father died that same year, after which Arthur became the sole financial provider for his entire family. Because construction work was scarce in Austria after World War I, Casagrande decided to move to the United States to follow his true passion of civil engineering, and to better support his family.

  • Poromechanics V Proceedings of the Fifth Biot Conference on Poromechanics
    POROMECHANICS V PROCEEDINGS OF THE FIFTH BIOT CONFERENCE ON POROMECHANICS July 10–12, 2013 Vienna, Austria SPONSORED BY Vienna University of Technology/Technische Universität Wien Engineering Mechanics Institute of the American Society of Civil Engineers EDITED BY Christian Hellmich Bernhard Pichler Dietmar Adam Published by the American Society of Civil Engineers Preface We are extremely honored, and very happy, to cordially welcome you in the cosmopolitan and culturally rich City of Vienna and at the Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien), the oldest of its type in Central Europe, for the Fifth Biot Conference on Poromechanics (BIOT-5). In 2013, this year marking the 50th anniversary of the death of Karl von Terzaghi (1883-1963), we hold BIOT-5 in memory of this “Grandfather of Poromechanics,” the founder of consolidation experiments and theoretical soil mechanics in general (see the Introduction for further historical remarks). We are very grateful that a significant number of brilliant scientists were ready to organize mini-symposia on topics that they rated as most interesting and stimulating. These mini- symposia are the natural backbone of BIOT-5’s scientific program, their titles and organizer affiliations representing the scientific and geographic breadth of BIOT-5 (see the Introduction for all names and further details). The design and set-up of BIOT-5 was strongly supported by the Local Organizing Committee, the International Scientific Committee, and the Advisory Committee, comprising all the earlier Biot conference hosts, in particular by Franz Ulm (M.I.T.), as well as by Alex Cheng (University of Mississippi) and Younane Abousleiman (University of Oklahoma), the latter two having been so instrumental in launching, with the help of Madame Nadine Biot, the Biot conference series, and staying the ever-motivated “good spirits” behind the scenes.
