Geomechanics and Engineering (GAE)

Dear Colleagues:

We are very happy to announce the “2018 International Conference on Geomechanics
and Engineering (ICGE18)
”​ to be held as a participating conference of ACEM18 (2018
World Congress on Civil, Environmental, and Materials Research
) / Structures18
on August 28 – August 31, 2018, in Incheon, Korea. The congress venue is Songdo Convensia
in Incheon, Korea.  Opened in 2008, It is a world class convention center located in the
newly-developed Songdo International City of Incheon. It is also Asia’s First LEED-certified
