Featuring R.M. Hardy Keynote Address, Dr. Ryan Phillips: Centrifuge Modelling – 'A Mari usque ad Mare'
The 2019 R.M. Hardy Lecture reviews the application of geotechnical centrifuge modelling across Canada over the past three decades. This advanced physical modelling technique for simulating and studying geotechnical problems was first used in Canada in 1984 at Queens University and has since been practiced at five different institutes nationwide. After introducing its fundamental principles, its application to the most famous foundation case study will be discussed. Canadian examples from a diverse range of modelling programs from some of these institutes will then be presented, with a focus on the 25 years of experience at C-CORE. These programs will include two major infrastructure projects, static and dynamic liquefaction studies, and pipeline designs in two different cold regions.
We will also be hosting the second annual Young Professionals Event, first ever Women’s Networking Breakfast, partner tours, short courses, and many more fun networking opportunities – we hope to see you there!
