1. Have you distributed the Terms of Reference
to the TC members? YES
2. Are any TC members not responsive? NO
3. Is your TC webpage on the ISSMGE website
up to date? YES
4. Please list the conferences and workshops and other activi-
ties you have held or plan to hold.
TC205 consider that there are already quite a lot of confer-
ences in the area of the TC’s remit, so we are not enthusias-
tic about organizing more. Members are very actively in-
volved in conferences, as listed below and TC205 is identi-
fied as a sponsor of these.
Most of the conferences are of a regional nature and the
same is true of much of the development of ideas. We
therefore see the main thrust of the TC to encourage global
interchange of ideas, principally using the internet.
1. Members from Europe, Asia and USA were heavily in-
volved in the GeoSNet conference in June -
2. American members are involved in GeoRisk2011 -
3. European members (and others) are involved in the
forthcoming Athens ECSMGE, especially preceding
workshops:
a. ERTC 7 – Numerical Methods in Geotechnical
Engineering & TC205 - Safety and Serviceability in
Geotechnical Design: "Limit State Design, Euro-
code 7 and Numerical Methods"
b. ERTC 3, ERTC 7, ERTC 10, ERTC 12 and TC205:
"Discussion among ERTC 3, ERTC 7, ERTC 10,
ERTC 12"
4. Some members plan to be involved in the 9th Inter-
national Conference of Testing and Design Methods for
Deep Foundations
5. Members will be involved in the next GeoSNet confer-
ence, in Boston, USA, 2014.
