The 3th International Conference on the Flat Dilatometer
Rome 15-17 June 2015
The Technical Committee TC-102 of the International Society of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE), the Italian Geotechnical Society (AGI) in cooperation with L’Aquila University are pleased to announce the 3rd International Conference on the Flat Dilatometer DMT’15 in Roma (Italy).
The previous two International Conferences on DMT were held in Edmonton Canada (1983) and in Washington D.C. (2006).
The 3rd International Conference on the Flat Dilatometer will be held June 15-17, 2015 at the Parco dei Principi Grand Hotel & SPA in Rome (Italy), steps away from Via Veneto, centre-stage of Fellini’s Dolce Vita, overlooking Villa Borghese.
