The conservation of monuments and historic sites is one of the most challenging problems facing modern civilization. It involves a number of factors belonging to different fields (cultural, humanistic, social, technical, economical, administrative), intertwining in inextricable patterns. The possibility of finding in practice an acceptable equilibrium is linked to the development of a shared culture.

The International Society of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering contributed to this development by an ad hoc Committee (former TC 19, now TC301– Preservation of Historic Sites)

The Technical Committee TC301 is organising the 2^nd International Symposium on Geotechnical Engineering for the preservation of Monuments and Historic Sites, which will be held in Napoli on May 2013. Its aim is that of comparing experiences, presenting important achievements and new ideas, establishing fruitful links.

The Organisers are very happy to welcome you in Napoli for this event.

Carlo Viggiani
