The French Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (CFMS) is most happy to host the 18th International Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (18th ICSMGE) in Paris, France, from Monday 2 to Friday 6 September 2013.
The main theme of the Conference is “Challenges and Innovations in Geotechnics”.
The Conference will take place at the Paris International Conference Centre (Palais des Congrès) located at Porte Maillot, 1km West of the Arch of Triumph, very near the Champs-Elysées Avenue and the historical centre of Paris.
CFMS will do its best to organize a very successful conference and to offer to the delegates and accompanying persons an exciting and pleasant stay in Paris.
In agreement with ISSMGE President's vision for strengthening the role of the Technical Committees (TCs), the 18th ICSMGE Paris 2013 will have a new format.
As indicated in the preliminary program the two first days (Monday 2 and Tuesday 3 September), devoted to plenary sessions, will include the Terzaghi Oration by Suzanne Lacasse, as well as 7 ISSMGE Honour lectures proposed by the TCs (See Program/Hounour Lectures).
The two following days (Wednesday 4 and Thursday 5 September), devoted to parallel sessions, will include the Discussion Sessions and the Workshops.
The Discussion Sessions are meant to discuss the papers sent to the Conference. It is planned to have 28 Discussion Sessions in total (of 1 ½ hour each with 1 General Report and the presentation of 6 selected papers). They will be managed by the TCs according to their subject area (see Program/Discussion Sessions).
The Workshops will have a free format. They correspond to requests made by the TCs themselves (it is anticipated to have some 20 such Workshops).
The technical visits, as well as other activities, will be organised on the last day (Friday 6 September).
More than 770 papers have been received from 70 Member Societies.

International Conference on State of The Art of Pile Foundation and Pile Case Histories (PILE 2013)
Piling has been used very widely and the rapid rate of development of commercial buildings and infrastructures require intensive use of pilings. Like all new development, there has been considerable time between the development of improved design method and their implementation in practice. This process can be accelerated by sharing ideas and insemination of the knowledge.
Recently established Deep Foundation Research Institute in the Department of Civil Engineering, Parahyangan Catholic University will be organizing International Conference on State of The Art of Pile Foundation and Pile Case Histories (PILE 2013). The conference will be held in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia.
This program is a result of cooperation among Civil Engineering Department, Faculty of Engineering Parahyangan Catholic University, Indonesia and Institute of Rock and Soil Mechanic (IRSM), Chinese Academy of Science Wuhan, China under the auspices of Indonesian Geotechnical Society (HATTI) and International Society of Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering (ISSMGE).

SEISMIC SOIL-STRUCTURE INTERACTION IN THE TIME DOMAIN
Author: Zhang Jian Jing | Size: 8.7 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING UNIVERSITY OF CANTERBURY CHRISTCHURCH, NEW ZEALAND | Year: 2000 | pages: 245
A time domain analysis procedure and method for seismic soil-structure interaction
analysis are introduced in this work. This includes the selection of the soil model, the
far field model, the structural model and the soil-structure interaction analysis
method.
The bounding surface plasticity model is implemented to model the near field. The
boundary element method in the time domain is used as the far field model. A
coupling method between the boundary elements and finite elements has been
proposed, its main advantages being: equilibrium and compatibility conditions are
used directly and the present boundary element and finite element packages only need
a small modification before they are used in this coupled procedure.
Nonlinear local site analyses have been carried out. The comparisons of the effects of
strong and weak input motions, different soft clay sites and different input motions on
local site amplification show the effect of soil yielding on local site response.
A primary investigation of the effect of soil-structure interaction on structural
response is carried out using the linear and nonlinear soil models. When the linear
elastic model is used to represent the soil behaviour, the effects of different sites,
frames and input motions from the basement rock on the soil-structure interaction are
investigated. The results show that the natural vibration periods of the site and
structure can represent the effect of the site and structure on the soil-structure
interaction and the predominant period of the input motion can represent the effect of
the input motion on soil-structure interaction. Acceleration response at the foundation,
displacement at the top floor, inter-storey shear force and the rocking of the
foundation are used to show the effect of the natural periods on the soil-structure
interaction. When the nonlinear soil model is used to represent the soil behaviour, a
comparison of the results of the linear and nonlinear analyses shows that the soil
yielding has a great influence on vibration frequency and vibration amplitude of both
the acceleration and the displacement at the foundation and at the top floor of the
structures. The permanent settlement of the foundation shows its accumulative
characteristics.

I 'll be highly gratefull to anyone who is able to provide me with these papers .
Please help i have been looking for this paper since past twenty one days so far no progress from my institute
The interaction of a building, its foundation and the underlying soils may have important effects on the behavior of
each of these components as well as on the overall system behavior. For example, the relative stiffness of a building structure, its mat foundation and the soils that support the foundation will influence the stresses and displacements of both the structure and soil. Soil-structure interaction (SSI) effects are sometimes neglected by the use of a structural model supported on a fixed base. Other simple models assume an ideally flexible or infinitely rigid foundation on an elastic subsoil. An investigation of the effects of SSI on the
stresses and displacements in the structure and the soil of a model fifty-story steel frame structure with a concrete mat foundation bearing on a deformable soil was undertaken
as a means of best understanding how to perform
and apply SSI analyses. The study included investigating the effects of the stiffnesses of the building, its mat foundation and
an elastic subsoil on the stresses, internal forces and displacements of the building, foundation and subsoils. The soil-structure model also considered the effects of foundation
embedment.

An E cient Seismic Analysis Procedure for Torsionally Coupled Multistory Buildings Including Soil-Structure Interaction
Author: Erkan C ELEB _ I ; A. Necmettin G ¨ UND ¨ UZ | Size: 0.42 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: _ Istanbul Technical University, Department of Civil Engineering _ Istanbul-TURKEY | Year: 2004 | pages: 15
In this paper, a simpli ed methodology of analysis for the seismic response of 3-dimensional irregular
high-rise buildings on a rigid footing resting on the surface of a linear elastic half-space is formulated.
An e cient method using modal decomposition and carried out in the frequency domain by using the
fast Fourier transform to obtain the structural response of torsionally asymmetric buildings, including soilstructure
interaction e ects, is presented. Applying this algorithm, full advantage is taken of classical normal
mode approximation, and the interaction problem is solved easily and e ectively within the framework of
the Fourier-transformed frequency domain analysis for a xed-base structure. The matrix formulation of
this method produces accurate approximation with less computational e ort, in spite of using the frequency
dependent impedance functions.
