11th International Conference on Physical Modelling in Geotechnics ICPMG 2026, Zurich, Switzerland
Date: June 8 – 12, 2026
Info
ETH Zurich was delighted to gather the physical modelling community at the 11th International Conference on Physical Modelling in Geotechnics (ICPMG 2026) in the vibrant city of Zurich, Switzerland, from 8 to 12 June 2026.
The conference provided a dynamic forum for academics, engineers, researchers, technicians and students, where the latest developments in modelling techniques, technologies, similitude laws, and all other aspects of physical modelling in geotechnics were discussed.
ICPMG 2026 offered an up-to-date overview of the latest developments in multi-scale physical modelling within the following general themes:
- New facilities, new equipment, and measuring techniques
- Scaling laws and fundamentals
- Resilient geotechnical infrastructure
- Sustainability in geotechnical systems
- Energy geo-structures and foundation systems
- Onshore and offshore foundation systems
Besides centrifuge modelling, studies based on 1g shake table and large scale testing were included, as well as research that combines numerical and physical modelling.
