Invitation You are warmly invited to attend the 2nd International Symposium on Asia Urban GeoEngineering on November 24-27, 2017 in Changsha, a historical and modern city in Hunan, China. The aim of this symposium is to share ideas and experiences about urban geoengineering in Asian countries among engineers, researchers and academia professors. The emphasis will be on improving our knowledge in meeting geoengineering requirements for a long-term sustainable urban development and the need to protect and preserve our environment. We look forward to having the pleasure of welcoming you all in Changsha.

About symposium

Extensively urban construction is going on in Asian countries ， environmental friendliness and sustainability are emphasized in modern urbanization processes. Environmental friendliness addresses the control of ground movement, mitigation measures and risk management. Those control or mitigation measures should be sustainable. Moreover, the performance of deep excavation and tunnels, mitigation measures and risk management are often site dependent and vary from country to country. The ground conditions, construction practices, codes and standards are very different among Asian countries. The aim of this symposium is to share knowledge and experiences of the analysis, design, construction and maintenance of urban geoengineering among engineers, researchers and academia professors in Asian countries.

Abstracts and paper submission

The abstract should be written in English and should clearly explain the contents of the studies discussed. The abstract (no more than 800 words) must include the title of the paper, authors, affiliation of authors, e-mail address of corresponding author, 4-5 keywords and the text in English. The content of the full papers submitted should be scientific, advanced, innovative, and must not have been published in any academic journals or reported in any academic meetings. The author of the selected paper will be invited to make a presentation on the 2nd-ISAUG.

Selected papers after peer-review will be published in a special issue in Journal of Zhejiang University-SCIENCE A (Applied Physics & Engineering). Detail information of the journal can be found at: http://www.zju.edu.cn/jzus/#

The host city

Being the political, economic, scientific and technological, educational, cultural and transportation center in Hunan, Changsha is among the first group of Chinese cities which were selected as famous historical and cultural cities in the country and allowed to open-up to the outside world. It is rich in tourist resources because of its unique geographical location. Surrounding the city are the beautiful Yuelu Mountain, Dawei Mountain and Weishan Mountain, and the Xiangjiang River and Liuyang River flow across it. The Juzizhou scenic spot in the city is regarded as one of the eight most charming places in Hunan attracting both domestic and overseas visitors.

Hunan University

Hunan University, originating from Yuelu Academy founded in 976 A.D. during the Northern Song Dynasty, is the oldest institution in Chinese history, earning it the name "One-Thousand-Year-Old Institution". With 1030 year old history it has transformed from an ordinary ancient academy to a famous modern institute. It is situated at the foot of the picturesque Yuelu Mountain and on the west bank of the rippling Xiangjiang River in the historically and culturally renowned City of Changsha, capital of Hunan Province. It enjoys the title of an "Ancient Millenarian Academy, Famous Centennial University".
