The purpose of this international symposium is to gather designers, consultants, contractors, regulators, researchers and other stakeholders together in a single forum to address all aspects of foundation engineering, including present state of art/practice and challenging issues facing the foundation engineering profession. The basic goal is to share information on how to do the job most effectively with lowest risk and impact on the environment. Contributions on all aspects of foundation engineering that advance our state of art/practice case histories, particularly innovations in practice and technology, are most welcomed. This symposium is held in conjunction with the Sixth Annual General Meeting of the Geotechnical Society of Singapore (GeoSS).
