5th AsRTC6 “Urban GeoEngineering” Symposium
The committee of 5th AsRTC6 “Urban GeoEngineering” Symposium cordially invites you
to participate and contribute papers to the conference. The symposium will focus on presenting academic
and practical works in aspects of deep excavation, tunneling and urban regeneration so any paper related
is welcome to be submitted. Members of AsRTC6 committee, under International Society of Soil Mechanics
and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE), include professions from academy and industry at various
locations in Asia.
The AsRTC6 Symposium was hosted previously in Fukoka, Japan (2015),
Changsha, China (2017), Taipei, Taiwan (2019) and Bandung, Indonesia (2023). Now the 5th one will be
held on the 22nd and 23rd of October 2025 in Taipei, Taiwan. The updated program will commence with a
Short Course on October 22nd, followed by a full-day technical symposium on October 23rd. On October
24th, a half-day technical site visit will be organized, along with a half-day city tour to explore
local cultural attractions.
