Dear Colleagues:
On behalf of the Organising Committee, it is my great pleasure to extend a warm invitation to you to participate in the 3rd International Symposium on Geosynthetic Clay Liners (GBR-C 2k10) to be held in Würzburg, Germany, from 15th – 16th September, 2010, at the mighty Fortress Marienberg.
Würzburg is honoured to host GBR-C 2k10, which is held every eight years in Germany – an outstanding forum for designers, geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineers, manufacturers, researchers and environmental agencies around the world to meet, to present and to discuss highly technical and scientific issues about GCL's through sessions dedicated to:
- shear and mechanical behaviour of GCLs
- chemical resistance of GCLs
- testing of GCLs under unsaturated conditions
- behaviour of GCLs in landfill covers (case studies)
- regulations, new concepts and developments in the use of GCLs
- GCLs for hydraulic and construction applications
A technical exhibition held in conjunction with the symposium will favour further exchanges of information and making contact around the latest innovative products.
Aside from the opportunities afforded by the symposium’s working sessions, you will also have the chance to experience tourist and cultural attractions of Würzburg such as the Residence (Europe’s most renowned baroque castles and UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site) and Franconian Wine Country.
Chairman of GBR-C 2k10
