New theories and testing techniques related with Unsaturated Soil
Mechanics have proven to be valuable tools to study a broad
spectrum of geo-materials which includes rocks, rock fills, frozen
soils and domiciliary solid wastes. These new theories and testing
techniques have permitted the analysis of several traditional
problems from a new perspective (e.g., swelling or collapsible
soils and compacted soils or pavements materials), and they have
also shown their efficiency to study new energy-related problems
like CO2 sequestration and nuclear waste disposal. Advances in
Unsaturated Soils is a collection of papers from the 1st
Pan-American Conference on Unsaturated Soils organized in Cartagena
de Indias, Colombia, in February 2013. The volume includes 76
research papers coming for all over the world, as well as 7
keynotes papers by well known international researchers. The
contributions present a variety of topics including: * Advances in
testing techniques * Unsaturated soil behavior * Constitutive
modeling and microstructure * Numerical modeling * Geotechnical
problems Advances in Unsaturated Soils is expected to become a
useful reference to academics and professionals involved in
Unsaturated Soil Mechanics.
This book presents the collection of technical papers which
includes research on two important topics in geotechnical
engineering; the characterization of unsaturated soils. The papers
in this collection are representative of local challenges facing
geotechnical engineers in the Middle East, but their contributions
can also be extended to other regions of the world.
Proceedings of the 2014 Geo-Congress, held in Atlanta, Georgia,
February 23-26, 2014. Sponsored by the Geo-Institute of ASCE. GSP
234, Geo-Congress 2014 Technical Papers: Geo-Characterization and
Modeling for Sustainability, contains 413 peer-reviewed technical
papers and case studies on efficient and sustainable practices in
the design and construction of crucial geotechnical infrastructure.
GSP 235, Geo-Congress 2014 Keynote Lectures: Geo-Characterization
and Modeling for Sustainability, contains eight peer-reviewed
keynote papers on cutting edge aspects of sustainability-related
geotechnical issues. These papers will be of interest to
practitioners, researchers, students, and policymakers working to
address sustainability in the area of geotechnical and
geoenvironmental engineering.
