This time, PCSMGE XV – Buenos Aires 2015 will coincide with three important events for geo – professionals: the 8th South American Conference on Rock Mechanics (CSMR), the 6th International Symposium of Deformation Characteristics of Soils (IC- BA2015 ) and the XXII Argentinian Congress of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (CAMSIG XXII).
This meeting will bring together international experts, researchers, academics, professionals and geoengineering companies in a unique opportunity to exchange ideas and discuss current and future practices in the areas of soil mechanics, rock mechanics, and their applications in civil, mining and environmental engineering, Buenos Aires is a charming city where history and modernity converge. Variety of sights, museums and cultural events are combined with an eclectic cuisine and a great variety of night entertainment.
XV PCSMGE 2015 will be held at the Hilton Hotel in a fashionable and exclusive area of the city with access to all major tourist attractions and good connection with domestic and international airports.
