The 7th International Symposium on Environmental Vibration and Transportation Geodynamics (formerly named as the International Symposium on Environmental Vibration) will be held from October 28-30, 2016 in Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China.

In 2003, the first symposium was initiated by Prof. H. Takemiya of Okayama University, Japan and Prof. Yunmin Chen of Zhejiang University, China, and held in Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China. The subsequent five symposia were successfully convened in Okayama University, Japan (2005), National Taiwan University, Taipei (2007), Beijing Jiaotong University, China (2009), Southwest Jiaotong University, China (2011), and Tongji University, China (2013), respectively. With the increasing impact over the academia and industry community, the symposia have attracted great attentions from the government managers, scientific researchers, and engineering professionals.

To effectively reflect the scientific and technological frontiers of transportation infrastructure dynamics, this symposium will be renamed as International Symposium on Environmental Vibration and Transportation Geodynamics, under the auspice of the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE) TC202 Transportation Geotechnics Committee. The scope of the 7th International Symposium on Environmental Vibration and Transportation Geodynamics will be extended to cover environmental vibration induced by industrial, civilian and transportation activities, and dynamics problems and related sustainability issue of transportation infrastructures. It will serve as a significant platform for academic exploration, experience exchange, and thought inspiration amongst the practitioners engaged in management, design and construction of large-scale civil and transportation infrastructure.

All the papers accepted for the conference will be included in a proceeding published by Springer and will be included in EI index. Authors of some selected excellent papers will be invited to submit the extended version of their conference papers to publish in two International Journals published by Elsevier and Taylor & Francis.
