Introduction
The 5th ICTG is hosted by the Transport Research Centre of University of Technology Sydney (UTS-TRC) and co-hosted by the International Society of Soil Mechanics & Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE), the Australian Geomechanics Society (AGS) and the Transport for New South Wales (TfNSW). The previous ICTG conferences were very successful in UK, Portugal, Japan and USA and this year moves to Sydney. There are three technical committees of the ISSMGE (TC202-Transportation Geotechnics, TC211-Ground Improvement and TC307-Sustainability) together to launch an impactful event encompassing the challenges facing the transportation infrastructure worldwide.
The Conference will aim at promoting concepts and applications predominantly in the fields of transport infrastructure design, ground improvement, sustainability and circular economy perspectives, and natural hazards mitigation. This major event will act as a platform to disseminate the most recent research and field advances to the geotechnical community around the globe through active pathways of academia and practice.
