The Soil Mechanics and Foundations Division (SMFD) is now soliciting nominations for the G.G. Meyerhof Award, awarded yearly by CGS to an accomplished geotechnical engineer with outstanding contributions to soil mechanics and foundation engineering. This award is given to CGS members at the CGS annual conferences and facilitated by the SMFD. Nominations are due by May 15 to the National Office (admin@cgs.ca). The nomination package may include letters of support detailing the contributions of the qualified candidate and a full CV of the candidate if applicable.

ISSMGE Survey
Are We Overdesigning? A survey of international practice has been developed by the ISSMGE. This is a joint initiative by the CAPG, the YMPG, TC205 - Safety and Serviceability and TC304 - Risk. The survey is intended to assess the consistency of calculation models and design methods for a variety of geotechnical structures, and where possible, to compare the results with full scale tests and reliability analyses. To participate in the survey please go to https://www.issmge.org/news/are-we-overdesigning-a-survey-of-international-practice. Submissions will be accepted until October 2020.
