Soil stabilization with lime, cement, etc.

Deep soil improvement
-
Geotechnics of road and railtrack structures (from subgrade to base or ballast, resp.)

Slope stability problems

Als Tagungsthema wurde aus historischen Gründen das gleiche gewählt wie bei der ersten DECGE: „Geotechnik im Straßen- und Eisenbahnbau“. Dies bietet eine interessante Vergleichsmöglichkeit der in 50 Jahren erfolgten Entwicklungen.
