Geotechnical research for land protection and development / Геотехнические исследования для охраны и освоения земель

The Italian Conference of Researchers in Geotechnical Engineering—CNRIG— reached this year its seventh edition, three years after the successful conference held in Bologna in 2016. The conference was promoted by the National Group of Geotechnical Engineering (GNIG; http://www.gnig.it/) and hosted by Politecnico di Milano (https://www.polimi.it/) at the campus in Lecco (Polo Territoriale di Lecco, http://www.polo-lecco.polimi.it/en). The conference provides an important opportunity to share scientific advances, innovation, and application in geotechnical engineering and is becoming a traditional event for the Italian geotechnical community. <...>
