MESSAGE FROM TC101 ON Laboratory Stress Strength Testing of Geomaterials

Prof. Junichi Koseki, Chair of TC101

Dear Members of ISSMGE,
Dear Colleagues,

ISSMGE TC 101 (formerly TC-29) was founded in 1994, after the successful 1st International Symposium (IS) on the Pre-failure Deformation Characteristics of Geomaterials held in Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan. To date, it has completed full five terms: two with Professor F. Tatsuoka as Chairman (1994-2001), another two with Professor R. Jardine (2001-2009) and one with Professor H. di Benedetto (2009-2013). At present in the sixth term (2013-2017), 41 members from 25 member societies are serving as the active members of TC101.

Under the terms of reference as shown in what follows, TC 101 covers all aspects of laboratory testing. It has thus organized many International Symposia (ISs) and workshops, and provides opportunities for international exchanges, through regular ISs and workshop meetings.
