On March 5, 2024, the Soil Mechanics and Foundations Division hosted the 4th CGS/SMFD Distinguished Lecture presented by Prof. Jian-hua Yin from Hong Kong Polytechnic University. In this lecture, Prof. Yin suggested using the coupled method to consider the creep settlement during the primary consolidation stage. He showed a few examples to demonstrate the use of this method, which has been incorporated into CFEM (2023) Chapter 3. The event attracted 192 registrants, including 100 CGS members and many students. The Division committee is very grateful to DYWIDAG and WSP for their sponsorship. The committee has shared the lecture materials with registrants and posted the lecture video in the CGS member's portal.
