Progress

Future plans

Task Force 1:

Interaction with industry

and education (coordi-

nated by Farrokh Nadim)

1. Email list of upcoming conferences and ask

members for short course proposals (Farrokh

Nadim)

2. Develop of a 2-day geotechnical risk

management course (Martin van Staveren)

3. Gather teaching resources (Mark Jaksa)

4. Coordinate a short course with CISM

(Vaughan Griffiths)

5. Compile a list of short courses in near future

for posting on TC304 website (Jianye Ching)

Work has started (Farrokh)

Topics and course materi-

als (slides and book) are

ready to use for 2-day

"Professional Geotechnical

Risk Management Course"

(Martin van Staveren)

The list will be dis-

cussed in the meeting

planned in Atlanta on 26

June and finalized

shortly afterwards

(Farrokh)

Making course models

country-specific with

interested members and

give the course in mem-

ber countries are con-

nected to conferences (in

2012) (Martin van

Staveren)

Task Force 2:

Compilation of guide-

lines and other technical

resources (coordinated by

Vaughan Griffiths)

1. Collect relevant guidelines and risk-related

international resources from industry,

government and academe for TC304 website

(Vaughan Griffiths):

Recommended reading list

General reading list

2. Bibliography database (Vaughan Griffiths)

Bibliography list under

compilation.

Status of list would be

discussed during Atlanta

meeting, 26 June.

Task Force 3:

Coordination with

broader risk community

(Coordinated by Martin

van Staveren)

1. Translate practice guide on geotechnical risk

management published by Deltares in Dutch

to English for dissemination (Martin van

Staveren)

2. Translate the generic risk management

principles of ISO-31000 into practical geo-

principles (Martin van Staveren, Lars Olsson)

Awaiting approval for

budget allocation for the

translation

Is ongoing in the Dutch

GeoImpuls Failure Cost

Reduction Program

Translating the guide in

English for dissemina-

tion in the geotechnical

community (as soon as

budget is provided)

Publication of the geo-

principles and the ex-

periences with using

them in a journal or

conference paper (by

2012)

Task Force 4:

Communication/dissemi-

nation (Coordinated by

Jianye Ching)

1. Set up TC304 website and circulate URL to

members (Jianye Ching)
