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.
