Dear Dr Huang,

Thank you for your session proposal titled “Resiliency and Robustness of Geo-Structural Systems” for the Geo-Risk 2017/ISGSR 2017 conference. We're pleased to let you know that your proposal has been accepted! Your session will soon be visible as a link on the conference web site at(http://submissions.mirasmart.com/ASCE/GeoRisk2017/login.asp) under TRACK D/ Advances in Geotechnical Reliability Based Design.

Please inform potential contributors to submit their abstracts directly to your session by 11^th, May, 2016. Note that oral presentations at your session will imply that authors have also submitted a paper that has been accepted for publication through the ASCE/GSP review process. We hope that session chairs will take a lead in organizing the reviews of papers in their sessions in addition to chairing their sessions at the conference in June 2017.

The Technical Program Committee will reserve the right to make adjustments to the sessions and the papers if needed closer to the date of the conference.  We are pleased you have chosen to play a leading role in the success of the Geo-Risk 2017/ISGSR 2017 and look forward to working with you over the coming months.

Best regards,

Jinsong Huang
