Student GeoChallenge – GeoWall, GeoPoster,
GeoPrediction and GeoVideo
Friday, March 9
12:00pm-4:00pm
The GeoPrediction competition asks students to
develop an accurate prediction of geotechnical
behavior given detailed information regarding
subsurface, boundary, and initial conditions, as
well as the geotechnical/structural loading. This
year, competing teams will estimate the ultimate
resistance and the subsequent displacement of
two drilled shaft pile at the working load and
the ultimate load by static load testing. Students
competing in the GeoPoster competition are challenged to present their research on
foundations (e.g., shallow, drilled, driven, new types, observed performance) for judging on
content and professionalism.
The GeoVideo competition includes short videos explaining various geotechnical concepts
that could be used in classrooms at various levels (elementary school through college)
and by the lay person to understand geotechnical principles. The competing teams have
created videos around the theme “A Strong
Foundation in Geotechnical Engineering.”
There will be six videos playing during the
competition and attendees will vote for the
best video.
The 2018 GeoPoster competition posters
will be on Foundations (e.g., shallow, drilled,
driven, new types, observed performance).
“IFCEE 2018 continues
a strong collaborative
tradition between many
geo-organizations. The
outstanding technical program
is complimented by
an impressive equipment
exposition that brings
together a broad segment
of geo professionals. We
invite you to join us in Orlando
to share in the great
technical content, meet old
friends and make new ones
across our profession.”
