  2. ISSMGE • Soil Mechanics represents our Roots, the History our Society that was created in 1936 by Terzaghi and Co-Workers, our Memories and also incorporates the activities of several individual members that cover only Soil Mechanics • Geotechnical Engineering integrates all the applied disciplines, this was the reason that we have changed in 1997 the name of ISSMFE (International Society for Soil Mechanics and Foundations Engineering) to ISSMGE (International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering) to cover a large spectrum of disciplines • ISSMGE is easy to pronounce, has the adequate size, we feel Proud and more important makes a clear difference with other Societies names e.g. IAEG, ISRM , ITA , IGS. ISGE can provoke some confusions. What is it? A new Society? •

  3. ISSMGE • The diversity of our Technical Committees is our great Richness and our source of Inspiration and we benefit a lot from the Synergies between Theory (Soil Mechanics TC101-TC107) and Practice (Geotechnical Engineering TC201-TC 216) • The Theory without Practice is a Waste and the Practice without Theory is a Trap • SM (Beauty, Love, History, Light) and GE (Logic, Wisdom, Analysis, Knowledge) are two hemispheres of our Brains Yin&Yang totally linked • We should maintain this Bridge between SM and GE, give our hands and work together to pursuit perfection of the life and the optimum solution

  4. ISSMGE • The Change of the name of ISSMGE should not be a Obsession. There are other Priorities in our Society • Redundancy of SM is not a problem • Co-operation with ISRM, IAEG, IGS and ITA is Important, but we should preserve our Autonomy, History and Identity and avoid Merging. The life is Multi-Dimensional •When we change in our Life is something for Better, not to move Backwards • Your Wisdom, Patience and Kindness have shaped the Heart and the Soul of ISSMGE acting as a SM (Soil Mechanics) foundation of Inspiration and unforgettable Support • As we live our Life we Craft our Destiny. To built a brilliant Future and make Life Sublime we should not forget our Roots Let us Keep our name ISSMGE
