A total of 21 papers were attracted from KGS and JGS and the paper presentation was made in four sessions: Site Investigation and Soft Ground, Soil Behavior and Dynamic Response, Underground Structures and Ground Response, and Geo-Environmental Engineering on the first day. A technical site tour was conducted on the second day by visiting the GangChon Bo, Yeoju, one of the sites for “Four River Restoration Project” which is a government priority enterprise for the purpose of preventing floods, securing water resources, and encouraging re-creation of land in Korea.
The next workshop is already planned to be held in Kobe, Japan, in July 2011 and both societies wish to continue strengthening the collaborations and friendship between members of the two societies through workshops.
