Japanese Geotechnical Society

The Japanese Geotechnical Society was founded in 1949 and had an aggregate of 122 individuals. Its motivation was to advance specialized advances and research exercises in the field of geotechnical building. From the very beginning, its part has been extending as current society has set ever more prominent requests on it to give an extensive variety of administrations. Since June 2004, The Society has had around 13,000 individuals, making it one of the biggest and most dynamic social orders among the more than 100 such social orders in presence in Japan. The year 1999 denoted its 50th commemoration. The Society has ended up referred to by its official condensing as the JGS.  The Society joined the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering in 1950 and has assumed a noteworthy part on the worldwide stage from that point forward. It had the pleasure of facilitating the Second Asian Regional Conference in 1964, the ninth International Conference in 1977 and the eighth Asian Regional Conference in 1988. Japanese geotechnicians have additionally been to a great degree required at a worldwide level. Prof. Masami Fukuoka served as the President of the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering from 1977 to1981. Prof. Kenji Ishihara additionally served as the President of the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering for the period 1997–2001. Likewise, Prof. Ishihara gave the 33rd Rankine Lecture of the British Geotechnical Society at the Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine on 24 March 1993.
