Soils are composed of grains but they are generally treated as
continua in the classical framework of geomechanics. Their
macroscopic response under loading, such as their non-linearity,
yielding and anisotropy, is controlled by their micro-structure,
the characteristics of the grains and the disposition of contacts
between them. There have been rapid advances in technology both to
investigate the microscopic properties of soils, and to simulate
their granular behaviour explicitly through Discrete Element Method
(DEM). DEM was originally used to reproduce element tests, but it
is now being advocated for boundary-value problems. Geomechanics
and Geotechnics: From Micro to Macro includes 174 peer-reviewed
papers presented at the International Symposium on Geomechanics and
Geotechnics: From Micro to Macro (IS-Shanghai 2010, Shanghai,
China, 10-12 October 2010). The symposium provided an opportunity
for the exchange of ideas and information on experiments, numerical
models and engineering applications related to the discrete nature
of geomaterials. The main goal was to explore further advances in
the use of micro-geomechanical approaches, and by doing so to
improve the understanding of macro-geomechanical phenomena by
offering experiments, constitutive relations, numerical analyses
and engineering applications associated with the discrete nature of
geomaterials. Geomechanics and Geotechnics: From Micro to Macro
will be of interest to academics and engineers involved in Soil
Mechanics, Geomechanics, Geotechnical Engineering, Geoengineering
and Civil Engineering.
