Lateral Load Blind Prediction Competition

26 Marzo 2025

    

Blind Prediction Competition

an initiative of KU Leuven in cooperation with Prof. Alessandro Mandolini, Chair of TC212 Deep Foundation ISSMGE.

Key Details:

  • participants will predict the lateral-load response of of hollow steel monopiles installed at a test site in Zeebrugge, Belgium; one pile was installed by vibratory driving and the other by impact hammering
  • this is a unique opportunity to apply geotechnical insights, test models, and compare predictions with field performance results
  • data from in-situ geotechnical investigation and laboratory tests are provided to support participants’ predictions.

 

REGISTER today to secure your spot and demonstrate your geotechnical skills on the global stage!

DEADLINE April 28th, 2025

The winner will be announced on the first day of the DFI-EFFC International Conference on Deep Foundations and Ground Improvement: Geotechnics Reimagined, which will be held in Bruges in May 21-23, 2025.

Third Workshop on the Future of Machine Learning in Geotechnics – 15-17 ottobre 2025, Firenze

14 Marzo 2025

Dal 15 al 17 ottobre 2025 si svolgerà a Firenze il Third Workshop on the Future of Machine Learning in Geotechnics (3FOMLIG). 
 
L’evoluzione continua e vertiginosa della tecnologia e della conoscenza consente oggi prestazioni e potenzialità sinora inimmaginabili di acquisizione ed elaborazione di dati. Al contempo, la crescente consapevolezza circa il ruolo centrale della sostenibilità nella gestione resiliente delle comunità umane e dell’ambiente naturale provoca mutamenti significativi nei paradigmi di numerose discipline e nelle strategie di numerose istituzioni a livello globale.
In questo contesto altamente dinamico, l’intelligenza artificiale e il machine learning rivestono un ruolo sempre più centrale grazie alla loro capacità di affrontare la complessità. Nell’ambito dell’ingegneria geotecnica, sono sempre più evidenti le prestazioni nell’analisi di dati, nella caratterizzazione, nella modellazione predittiva del comportamento dei sistemi terreno-struttura, nella progettazione e nella gestione dei rischi. Risulta tuttavia fondamentale inquadrare e gestire questo immenso potenziale dal punto di vista della sinergia tra l’intelligenza artificiale e quella umana, e di mettere al servizio entrambe dell’etica.
Il terzo “Workshop on the Future of Machine Learning in Geotechnics”, il primo a tenersi in Europa, ambisce a riunire ricercatori, studenti, esponenti dell’industria e professionisti della geotecnica a confrontarsi su tematiche inerenti all’utilizzo dell’intelligenza artificiale e del machine learning promuovendo e stimolando la reciproca interazione mediante sessioni dal molteplice carattere. E’ inoltre previsto un corso introduttivo gratuito per studenti e dottorandi, con sessioni didattiche tenute da eccellenze del settore.
 
Poiche molte iniziative prevedono attività tecniche di gruppo nel periodo precedente l’evento, vi invitiamo sin d’ora a prendere visione del sito ufficiale (www.fomlig2025.com), dal quale è già possible effettuare la registrazione.
La scadenza per l’invio degli abstract è fissata per il 15 aprile 2025 secondo le modalità descritte sulla pagina dedicata.
Vi aspettiamo numerosi a Firenze!

Marco Uzielli, Presidente del Comitato Organizzatore 3FOMLIG
