Swedish Geotechnical Society

The Swedish Geotechnical Society was established on 27th February 1950,  the founders had been: BrorFellenius, Arne Hellgren, Bernt Jakobsson,Gösta Bjurström, Carl Ekman, Walter Kjellman, Nils Lilja, Göte Lindskog, Rune Lundström, John Marve, Ture Olofsson, John Olsson och Göte Åström. Bernt Jakobsson is the first president of Swedish Geotechnical Society. a number of contributors in 1975: approximately three hundred person individuals and 30 company members, at gift: approximately 1000 man or woman individuals and 25 corporate individuals. Geotechnical engineering in Sweden has a protracted way of life, dating back to the paintings of such incredible engineers and scientists as Albert Atterberg,  Sven Hultin,John Olsson, Wolmar Fellenius,and Walter Kjellman. The "Geotechnical fee of the Swedish state Railways" changed into instituted in 1913 because of repeated landslides alongside the main railroad lines and can be regarded as one of the milestones of cutting-edge soil mechanics. The time period "geotechnics" (Swedish geoteknik) changed into coined with the aid of the commission. The Geotechnical commission worked beneath the leadership of Wolmar Fellenius, a professor at the Royal Institute of technology in Stockholm, and offered its record in 1922. The commission investigated extra than three hundred embankment screw ups and landslips. The use of the different area and laboratory research strategies became mentioned. The Geotechnical branch of the national Swedish street Authority turned into started as early as 1936 beneath Dr. Walter Kjellman, and become reorganized as the Swedish Geotechnical Institute in 1944. The Swedish Geotechnical Society became based on February 27, 1950. The Swedish Geotechnical Institute plays a critical position in the realistic application of studies and progressive basis methods. for the duration of its 50 years of lifestyles, SGI has been the breeding floor for many geotechnical engineers who have due to the fact contributed to the development of Swedish geotechnical know-how. In 1959, the Swedish fee on Pile studies became created.
