Society of American Military Engineers (SAME) Dam and Levee Resilience Conference

November 12 - November 13

This is the 5th event of the Dam & Levee Resilience series, a collaborative event between the Federal Government, State and Local Governments, Regional Agencies, and the private sector. Stakeholders of all kinds will be coming together in person to foster cross-sector collaboration regarding the risks, challenges, and policy updates facing our aging infrastructure. The safety and security of dams and levees is paramount; join this event to discuss the concerns and challenges associated with maintaining these critical structures.

Defending against floods, delivering water for life—integrating safety with sustainability.

Don’t miss the field trip: a free tour of the Center for Geotechnical Modeling (CGM) at UC Davis, where groundbreaking research meets world-class geotechnical centrifuge modeling facilities. As part of the NSF-sponsored Natural Hazards and Engineering Research Infrastructure (NHERI) network, this center advances the understanding of soil and soil-structure systems under the impact of earthquakes, waves, winds, and storm surges. The facility boasts one of the world’s largest centrifuges equipped with a shaking table, enabling highly complex experiments crucial for developing resilient infrastructure. Explore the state-of-the-art centrifuges and discover their role in simulating real-world geotechnical challenges. Visit their Vision and Facility pages to learn more about the fascinating work at CGM. A social hour is being put together to follow.
