澳大舉行軟土地基地下工程岩土問題國際研討會
由澳門大學、國際土力學與岩土工程學會TC204、澳門土木工程實驗室、澳門岩土工程協會主辦的第11屆軟土地基地下工程岩土問題國際研討會於澳大舉行，匯聚英國、挪威、丹麥、意大利、杜拜、新加坡、日本、中國內地、香港、澳門等15個國家和地區合共150多名海內外專家學者參與，推動軟土地基地下工程岩土問題的交流與合作。
澳大科技學院院長須成忠致開幕辭時表示，近年智慧城市的發展備受世界各地重視和提倡，地下空間的開發與利用對提升城市承載能力、優化空間佈局、提高運行效率等方面具有重要意義。澳大作為是次國際研討會的主辦單位，期望能牽頭加強各地科學家在相關領域的合作、技術交流及人才培養，同時為地下建設及相關領域的新問題提供解決方案和技術，促進智慧城市的發展。
研討會為期四天，以“智慧城市的隧道和地下工程”為主題，進行了Fujita講座、國際土力學與岩土工程學會2024年度青年之星講座、5場主旨報告、6場綜合報告及18場專業報告。國内外著名學者和專家在演講上分享他們在深基坑、隧道和大型地下結構的分析、設計、施工和維護等與岩土工程相關的最新成果，以及物聯網和人工智能在地下基礎設施智能施工和維護方面的應用，推動國際學術界在軟土地基地下工程岩土問題的交流與合作。研討會更設有圓桌討論、壁報展講及頒獎儀式，並出版了會議論文集《Geotechnical Aspects of Underground Construction in Soft Ground》，藉此啟發更多相關技術發展和創新。
是次研討會的榮譽主席為澳門土木工程實驗室董事會主席區秉光和國際土力學與岩土工程學會TC204主席Giulia Viggiani，主席為澳門大學科技學院副院長兼土木及環境工程系系主任周萬歡和東南大學交通學院副教授徐濤。出席是次研討會開幕禮的嘉賓還有歐洲土力學與岩土工程學會副主席Lyesse Laloui、前國際土力學與岩土工程學會TC204主席Adam Bezuijen、荷蘭沉管隧道諮詢委員會主席兼《Tunnelling and Underground Space Technology》期刊主編Wout Broere、湖南大學副校長陳仁朋、《Acta Geotechnica》期刊主編吳偉等。
第一屆軟土地基地下工程岩土問題國際研討會於1994年在印度新德里舉行，隨後選址英國倫敦（1996）、日本東京（1999）、法國圖盧茲（2002）、荷蘭阿姆斯特丹（2005）、中國上海（2008）、意大利羅馬（2011）、韓國首爾（2014）、巴西聖保羅（2017）和英國劍橋（2022）。

UM holds International Symposium of Geotechnical Aspects of Underground Construction in Soft Ground
The 11th International Symposium of Geotechnical Aspects of Underground Construction in Soft Ground (IS-Macau 2024) was held at the University of Macau (UM). The symposium was jointly organised by UM, Technical Committee 204 (TC204) of the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE), the Civil Engineering Laboratory of Macau, and the Macau Association for Geotechnical Engineering. More than 150 delegates from 15 countries and regions, including the UK, Norway, Denmark, Italy, Dubai, Singapore, Japan, mainland China, Hong Kong and Macao, attended the symposium to exchange views and promote cooperation on geotechnical aspects of underground construction in soft ground.
Xu Cheng-Zhong, dean of the Faculty of Science and Technology (FST) at UM, said in his opening remarks that the development of smart cities has received significant attention and has been promoted around the world in recent years. The development and utilisation of underground space is of great significance in increasing urban carrying capacity, optimising spatial layout, and improving operational efficiency. As one of the organisers of the symposium, UM hopes to take the lead in strengthening cooperation, technical exchanges, and talent development for scientists from different countries and regions in the relevant fields, while providing solutions for various aspects of underground construction and related fields, so as to make promote the development of smart cities.
Themed ‘Tunnelling and Underground Construction for Smart Cities’, the four-day symposium featured a Fujita Lecture, an ISSMGE Bright Spark Lecture, 5 keynote lectures, 6 plenary sessions, and 18 paper presentations. During the symposium, prominent scholars and experts from home and abroad shared their latest achievements in the geotechnical aspects of the analysis, design, construction and maintenance of deep excavations, tunnels and large underground structures, as well as the applications of the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence in the smart construction and maintenance of underground infrastructure, thereby promoting the exchange and cooperation within the international academic community on the geotechnical issues of underground construction in soft ground. The symposium also included a roundtable discussion, a poster session, and the presentation of the poster award. In addition, Geotechnical Aspects of Underground Construction in Soft Ground, the proceedings of the tenth edition of the symposium, was launched to stimulate further technical development and innovation.
The honorary chairs of IS-Macau 2024 are Ao Peng Kong, president of the Board of Directors of the Civil Engineering Laboratory of Macau, and Giulia Viggiani, chair of ISSMGE TC204. The general chairs are Zhou Wanhuan, associate dean of FST and head of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at UM, and Xu Tao, associate professor in the School of Transportation at Southeast University. The opening ceremony was also attended by Lyesse Laloui, vice president of ISSMGE Europe; Adam Bezuijen, former chair of ISSMGE TC204; Wout Broere, chair of the National Structural Integrity Research Committee on Immersed Tunnels of the Netherlands and editor-in-chief of the journal Tunnelling and Underground Space Technology; Chen Renpeng, vice president of Hunan University; and Wu Wei, editor-in-chief of the journal Acta Geotechnica.
The first International Symposium on Geotechnical Aspects of Underground Construction in Soft Ground was held in 1994 in New Delhi, India. The subsequent nine editions were held in London, UK (1996); Tokyo, Japan (1999); Toulouse, France (2002); Amsterdam, Netherlands (2005); Shanghai, China (2008); Rome, Italy (2011); Seoul, South Korea (2014); Sao Paulo, Brazil (2017); and Cambridge, UK (2022), respectively.
