Welcome Message
Dear Colleagues:
The Organizing Committee of IS-Seoul 2014 would like to invite all of you to the 8th International
Symposium on Geotechnical Aspects of Underground Construction in Soft Ground (IS-Seoul 2014) to be
held in Seoul, Korea from August 25 to 27, 2014. The symposium is organized by TC204 of ISSMGE and
the Korean Geotechnical Society.
We have prepared an intellectually stimulating scientific program consistent with the themes in
line with the terms of reference of TC204 such as tunnelling in soft ground, deep excavations, field
monitoring, physical and numerical modelling and mitigation measures. In this symposium, the
inaugural Fujita lecture, established to honor Prof. Keiichi Fujita, will be delivered in conjunction with
four keynote lectures by internationally well known experts in underground construction field. Also
planned are nine parallel technical sessions that cover a variety of topics relevant for the main theme.
In addition, diverse technical exhibition and social programs are scheduled during the symposium. The
symposium will provide participants many opportunities to exchange new informations and ideas related
to underground construction technology.
The venue city is Seoul, a progressive capital with a population of over 12 million. The city is surrounded
by beautiful mountains with the centrally crossing Han River. Seoul has many outstanding attractions
where the diverse traditional Korean cultures in part are well preserved as the city has been the capital
since 1392. Visitors generally enjoy experiencing the mixture of the modern and traditional flavors of
Korea. Try to experience "Hanryu" such as K-Pops and Korean TV series during your stay.
Each members of Local Organizing Committee will make sure that the symposium will be fruitful
and memorable. Anticipating your continued cooperation and active participation for the forthcoming
symposium, we look forward to welcoming you here in Seoul, Korea.

Honored Lectures
Fujita Lecture
About the Lecture
The first Fujita Lecture will be presented in IS-Seoul 2014 with sponsorship of the International Society of Soil
Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE; TC204), to honor the contributions and achievements of
Professor Keiichi Fujita in the field of geotechnical engineering.
Professor Keiichi Fujita (1924~2010) was a very distinguished engineer who achieved an enormous amount in his
very active and highly successful career. He was not only an expert on tunnelling and deep excavations, but also on
piled foundations and many other aspects of geotechnical engineering. He was the author of many State-of-theArt reports and delivered many Keynote Lectures at ISSMGE conferences. Much has been achieved by ISSMGE’s
Technical Committee 204 on Underground Construction in Soft Ground (formerly TC28) and this is in large part due
to the inspirational leadership of Professor Fujita. In 1994, under his leadership as Chairman, Professor K. Fujita
organized a one-day International Symposium in New Delhi – just before the 13th ICSMGE. This was an outstanding
success, bringing together specialists in underground construction from many countries.

Seoul is a capital of Korea and a city where the traditional and the cutting-edge exist side-by-side in
perfect harmony. With one foot in the past and another in the future, Seoul is a city that never ceases to
amaze. In Seoul, with first-class cultural facilities, terrific nightlife and a never-ending schedule of event,
you'll never be bored
In the Center of Asian Metropolises
Located at 126 59' E and 37 34' N, Seoul is at the heart of the Korean Peninsula. The city is nearly
equidistant from the southeastern port of Busan and the northwestern town of Sinuiju on the ChinaNorth Korea border. The city is also conveniently located in the middle of several major northeast Asian
metropolises, such as Tokyo, Beijing, Shanghai and Taipei. The city is some 30.3 km from north to south
and 36.78 km east to west. Its total area is 605.41 square kilometers, making it a truly large metropolis.
Seoul sits in a natural basin. Surrounding the city are a number of peaks of 500 meters or more above
sea level. These peaks have historically played the role of a natural fortress, providing the city with
protection from invasion. In fact, the mountains were a key reason behind the location's selection as the
national capital.

Among the major peaks surrounding Seoul are Bukhansan (Seoul's highest peak at 836m),
Dobongsan (740m), Inwangsan (338m) and Gwanaksan (629m). Other peaks include Bugaksan (342m),
the guardian peak protecting the presidential palace of Cheongwadae, and Namsan (232m), which
historically guarded the old city of Seoul to the south.

Republic of Korea, has been the center of the country in its long history from the prehistoric era to the
present day.
Seoul emerged as the capital city before the Common Era. Its emergence occurred during the early
days of Baekje, one of the three kingdoms that existed in the peninsula for over a millennium. Baekje’s
rich and brilliant culture became the basis for cultivating Korea’s cultural history. During the Three
Kingdoms Era, it was the strategic region all those three rival countries competed for, which illustrates
the substantial significance of Seoul during that era.
After the unified Silla period and the Goryeo Dynasty, Seoul again became the capital of the Joseon
Dynasty with its foundation in 1394. Since then, the city has been maintained as the historical center of
the country.
Now in its 600th year of official history, Seoul is a city where Korea’s traditional and modern cultures
coexist. Geographically, it is an extraordinary example of good location, as mountains, rivers and urban
spaces all combine to produce a picture-perfect city.
Historical Sites
Seoul has so many historic attractions from the various periods of its history, many of which have
been maintained in their original states.
These attractions, like jewels in a secret treasure chest, are hidden here and there throughout the
densely developed city. Traveling between these sites one has the distinct impression that they have
stepped through a time portal into Korea’s past. Indeed, when surrounded by the humbling presence
of the past, and the valuable insights it provides, it is impossible not to take away a long-lasting
impression about the culture and history of Korea.
21
Besides the popular Joseon Dynasty palaces, such as Gyeongbokgung and the four other major palaces,
there are various other kinds of historic attractions in Seoul, the old tombs fortress walls and prehistoric
remains being but two notable examples.
The city features various prehistoric remains and relics from the Paleolithic, Neolithic, Bronze and Iron
Ages, which have been preserved in as close to their original states as is possible. By taking this prehistoric
trip through time in the middle of the city, you will be led to the essence of the classical Korean arts, which
can never be repeated in today’s art world.
It has been said that Koreans are good at endeavors involving delicate handiwork, a belief borne out by
the various architectural works and artwork located at the many historical sites. And some of the fortresses
command wonderful views of Seoul. The fortress walls exist in harmony with their surrounding
environment, as there is a plentitude of flower and tree species growing around them.
Seoul Fortress once spread its walls around the old Joseon Dynasty capital of Hanyang (an old name for
Seoul). With Bugaksan (Mt.) as its center, it linked Naksan, Namsan and Inwangsan. The fortress, once
stretching 18.127 kilometers, used to feature four main gates and four smaller gates. Located over the
Jongno-gu, Jung-gu and Seongbuk-gu areas, this particular historical site is easy to find.
