16th Annual Meeting of the ITA
The 1990 ITA General Assembly will be held in conjunction with an international congress sponsored by the China Civil Engineering Society and organized by the Institution of Tunnel and Underground Works, Southwest Jiaotong University, and the Association of Science and Technology, Siehuan Province. The theme of the conference, 'Tunnels and Underground Works: Today and Future," will encompass the following topics: design and construction of railway tunnels; design and construction of urban tunnels and metros; design and construction of hydro tunnels; design and construction of rock caverns; and theoretical analysis and design of underground structures. Languages of the conference will be English, Chinese and French. Pre- and postcongress tours will be offered. For more information contact: Prof. Xu Wenhnan, Institute of Geotechnical Engineering, Southwest Jiaotong University, Chengdu, Sichuan, China. September 3-7, 1990
Underground Construction and Tunnelling Association and Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. The conference will provide a forum for discussion of the economic, social and technical factors that bear upon Australia's use of underground space. Papers will cover the following broad areas of interest: financing of underground projects: Urban planning and commercial development of underground space; Innovative use of underground space; Environmental and regulatory aspects of underground activity; Industrial relations and industry matters; Permanent and temporary services for underground structures; Case studies; Recent research; Ground support; Equipment development; Project management; Underground construction in mining; Investigation, planning and design; and Contractual issues.

October 11-13, 1990 Cracow, Poland
Organized by the British Geotechnical Society, this conference will have the following themes: soil and water-retaining structures; slopes and embankments; foundations and unbound road paavements; tunnels and buried structures; soil nailing and in-situ reinforcement techniques. A products and services exhibition will be held in conjunction with the conference. For more information: Prof. Alan McGown, Chairman, Organizing Committee, International Reinforced Soil Conference, Dept. of Civil Engineering, Univ. of Strathclyde, Rottenrow, Glasgow G4 0NG, U.IC; or Dr. R. T. Murray, Chairman, Technical Committee, International Reinforced Soil Conference, Dept. of Civil Engineering, Univ. of Stratclyde, Rottenrow, Glmgow G4 0NG, U.K.
The aim of the conference is to present current problems of soil mechanics and foundation engineering, which are a subject of research conducted by Polish scientists and engineers, as well as by cooperating foreign scientists. The themes of the conference will be: Theoretical and experimental bases of geotechnics; Practical problems in geotechnics; and Geotechnical aspects of environmental control.
