This examination of the physical and mechanical properties of eluvial soils covers modern methods of evaluating the degree of weathering, deformation and strength characteristics in such soils. Problems of foundation design on eluvial soils of var...
The development of constitutive relations for geotechnical materials, with the help of numerical models, have increased notably the ability to predict and to interpret the mechanical behaviour of geotechnical works. This work covers rock excavatio...
A collection of papers from the Symposium on Configurational Mechanics in Thessaloniki 2003 to draw together knowledge and expertise from a range of disciplines across the material sciences.
This text outlines the problems commonly encountered during infrastructure constructions on soft and subsiding ground in lowland environments, and their solutions in terms of soil/ground improvement techniques.
Presenting the proceedings from the 1996 Geomechanics conference, this volume provides coverage of subjects including: in-situ stress testing in geo-engineering; rock mass behaviour and its reinforcement; numerical modelling; non-linear problems; ...
This book presents the complete list of delegates of all the member countries, arranged in alphabetical order, of the 2001 International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering.
