Geomaterials exhibit complex but rich mechanical behaviour with a
variety of failure modes ranging from diffuse to localized
deformation depending on stress, density, microstructure, and
loading conditions. These failure modes are a result of an
instability of material and/or geometric nature that can be studied
within the framework of bifurcation theory. Degradation is another
related phenomenon arising from cyclic loading, ageing, weathering,
chemical attack, and capillary effects, among others. The
methodology of analyzing the various types of instabilities is
crucial in the adequate modelling and safe design of numerous
problems in geomechanics. The present volume contains a sampling of
enlarged versions of papers presented at the International Workshop
on Bifurcation and Degradations in Geomaterials (IWBDG 2008) held
in Lake Louise, Alberta, Canada, May 28-31, 2008. These papers
capture the state-of-the-art in the specialized field of
geomechanics and contemporary approaches to solving the central
issue of failure. Some engineering applications are presented in
the areas of energy resource extraction and soil-machine
interaction.
