3rd International Symposium on Transportation Soil Engineering in Cold Regions (TRANSOILCOLD2017), Guide,Qinghai, China, 6-7 Jul. 2017
Cold regions cover 50% of the world’s total land area. All transportation infrastructures in cold regions face great technical challenges due to ground freeze-thaw or permafrost degradation. New transportation infrastructure on embankments, such as high-speed railways on slab tracks or highways, requires high geometry standards. In China, the Qinghai-Tibet Railway has been in operation for ten years but now faces issues due to permafrost degradation. Challenging technical problems will likely arise as more transportation infrastructure, such as high speed railways (HSR) and highways, is being planned and/or constructed in Northwest and Northeastern China, Russia as well as the North America.
This conference is planned to be held in Guide, Qinghai, China, in 6-7 July 2017. This conference is supported by ISSMGE TC202. There will be a special session to be organized by TC202 members/friends.
