Conference Topics：

Papers should be related but are not limited to the main theme of the conference： Numerical modeling of large deformation and soil-water-structure interaction. They can be of either computational or experimental nature and can be of both fundamental basis or applications with a special emphasis on the following aspects：

- Material point method， formulation and applications

- Other munerical methods for modeling large deformations in geomechanics and fluid mechanics， amongst many others e.g. SPH， DEM/LBM， PFEM， ALE，UL-FEM， CFD

- Coupling of geomechanics and fluid mechanics concepts

- Constitutive models for large deformation， dynamic problems， cyclic loading， unsaturated behaviour

- Soil-water interaction and transition， modeling of sedimentation and erosion， sediment transport and deposition， coastal erosion and scouring

- Modelling of water-soil boundary layers under currents and waves， turbulence modeling

Experiments， benchmarks and case studies：

- Experimental investigation of large deformation problems at field， model or laboratory scale

- Forensic engineering： （back-） analysis of large deformation failure events and natural hazards

- Case studies and benchmark solutions for large deformation problems

Applications in geotechnical and hydraulic engineering：

- Slope liquefaction and breaching， dredging processes， jetting， cutting

- Installation of geocontainers， stability of breakwaters， wave attack on structures

- Submarine slides， turbulent flow slides

- Landslides （weather-， earthquake-， man-induced），debris flows， avalanches

- Dike stability （e.g. macrostability， piping， erosion）and dike reinforcement

- Installation problems， e.g. pile installation

- Soil investigation， e.g. pile load testing， CPT simulation， pore pressure dissemination testing

- Impact and stability problems， e.g. boreholes， sinkholes
