Geotechnique Symposium in Print 2011: The theme of this symposium
blends together two areas of research which relate to the effects
of suction and partial saturation on soil behaviour and the study
of compaction as a method of soil improvement. The recurring
interest in these areas of research, together with the recent
increase in the number of international conferences dedicated to
unsaturated soils, is a clear indication of the continued relevance
of this theme to the geotechnical profession. Contributions to this
symposium show that recent developments of experimental techniques
and modelling tools have enhanced our understanding of unsaturated
soil mechanics and have resulted in the formulation of conceptual
material frameworks that are applicable to different categories of
soils. Nevertheless, the impact of such advances on engineering
practice is yet to be seen. The research included in this book can
definitely contribute to closing the gap between research and
practice by facilitating dissemination of our current knowledge of
unsaturated soil mechanics. This knowledge has the potential to
enhance the sustainability of current building practices by
extending the use of locally sourced soils and, in general, to
improve design of earth structures with consequent gains in safety
and cost.
