This time, Chubu Branch of Japanese Geotechnical Society (JGS) takes the responsibility for organizing the International Mini Symposium CHUBU (IMS-CHUBU) in Nagoya, Aichi, Japan. As it is known that Chubu Branch is regarded as one of the most active groups in all-Japan in the research activities of geotechnical engineering, we are very proud to be able to organize this mini symposium. Size of the symposium is not a main concern, because the most important thing is that all the high-level research achievements can be presented in a compact conference and all the participants can listen to other’s presentation. By attending this mini symposium, the participants can not only share their knowledge but also can enhance the communication and friendship, which is a very important way to make contribution to the next generation of soil mechanics.
The topics of the symposium cover a wide range of new concepts and new developments in soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering in recent years. We cordially invite those researchers, especially the young who devote ceaselessly to the relevant researches, to attend the symposium and share the view with other researchers.
The symposium is organized by Chubu Branch of JGS under the auspices of international affair of JGS as an all-Japan international event. We sincerely thank the assistance, the encouragement and the enthusiasm from both the domestic and international colleagues who support the symposium. We hope that through this symposium, we can not only share the knowledge, but also can enhance the friendship and add wonderful memory.
We are looking forward to seeing all the friends from all over the world in the coming days.
