INTERNATIONAL COURSE ON GEOTECHNICAL
AND STRUCTURAL MONITORING
7TH ICGSM 2021
The Covid-19 pandemic forced us to organize the 7th International Course on Geotechnical and Structural Monitoring with an online format, thus allowing us to renew the overall structure and schedule. We therefore decided to spread the event over a whole semester instead of concentrating it in one week.
However, as we was aware of the importance of personal interaction between participants, we organised two days on site Field Trip.
The ICGSM 2021 was structured as follows:
- Main Course – 3 consecutive days;
- Field Trip – 2 consecutive days;
- Master Classes – 14 days over a six-month period.
Participants had the opportunity to attend the whole event, one or more Master Classes, or only the Main Course and/or the field trip.
Main Course
The Main Course (14-15-16 June 2021) provided an overview of geotechnical and structural monitoring through seminars, panel discussions and keynote speeches on case studies and new trends.
More than 20 sponsors participated in this edition with virtual booths in the platform’s exhibitor area. During the event, the participants had access to virtual stands to get more information. In addition, the sponsors were able to show their solutions and equipment for geotechnical and structural monitoring through dedicated presentations.
Field Trip
A Field Trip on geotechnical and structural monitoring at the Roman Forum in Rome was organised on 21 June 2021. As in previous years, it was possible to learn more about monitoring systems, walking through the ancient ruins of the Basilica of Maxentius and the Temple of Venus and visiting the construction sites of the underground “Line C (Rome Metro)”.
The second day, on 22 June 2021, was dedicated to visiting the experimental field of the Acuto Prenestina quarry, planned and designed by the Earth Sciences Department of the Sapienza University of Rome in the framework of a Project of Excellence funded by the Italian Ministry of University and Research.
Master Classes
The Master Classes have been organised in order to provide general and practical skills on how to use the most common monitoring systems. The 4-hour classes were conducted by international experts who focused on the following main topics: installation, data acquisition, data processing, tips and tricks from daily experience.
In the seventh edition of the ICGSM, 14 Master Classes were held focusing on the most commonly used monitoring systems.
