The 4th International conference, GEOTEC HANOI 2019 is organized by FECON Corporation, the Vietnamese Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (VSSMGE), Thuyloi University (TLU), and Kokusai Kogyo Co., Ltd (KKC), and will take place on November 28-29, 2019 at the National Convention Center (NCC), Hanoi. The conference is honorably patronized by the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE) and Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).

The series of International Conference on Geotechnics for Sustainable Infrastructure Development (GEOTEC HANOI) was organized successfully in 2011, 2013 and 2016 in Hanoi and it has become a well-known event not only in Vietnam but also internationally for its excellent quality and organizational scale.

Each conference was a great event for scholars and professional engineers from around the world to share and learn the most up-to-date knowledge and technologies in the field of geotechnical engineering. More remarkably, in the GEOTEC HANOI (GH) conferences, world-class keynote lectures were delivered by leading experts as: Prof. Sven Hansbo (Sweden), Prof. Kenji Ishihara and Dr. Hiroshi Yoshida (Japan), Prof. Harry G. Poulos (Australia), Prof. Pieter A. Vermeer (Netherlands), and Prof. Alain Guilloux (France) in GH2011; Prof. Rolf Katzenbach (Germany), Prof. Alain Guilloux (France), Prof. Fumio Tatsuoka (Japan), Prof. Kenichi Soga (United Kingdom), Prof. Helmut Schweiger (Austria), and Prof. Sven Hansbo (Sweden) (honorable lecture) in GH2013; and Prof. Bengt H. Fellenius (Canada), Prof. Buddhima Indraratna (Australia), Prof. Chang-Yu Ou (Taiwan), Dr. Jamie Standing (United Kingdom), and Prof. Kazuya Yasuhara (Japan) in GH2016. In addition, each event was a valuable opportunity for sponsors and exhibitors to show and promote their services to the world.

Especially, this conference GEOTEC HANOI 2019 will welcome world-leading professors to deliver keynote and invited lectures.

GEOTEC HANOI 2019 will include six intensive Keynote lectures from leading experts in geotechnical field in the world, two Special Invited lectures & two Invited lectures.
