"Geomechanics and Geotechnics: From Micro to Macro" ed. by Mingjing Jiang, Fang Liu, Malcolm Bolton (Repost)

This book includes 174 peer-reviewed papers on Geomechanics and Geotechnics. This book will be of interest to academics and engineers involved in Soil Mechanics, Geomechanics, Geotechnical Engineering, Geoengineering and Civil Engineering.

This volume contains papers presented at the International Symposium on Geomechanics and Geotechnics: From Micro to Macro (IS-Shanghai 2010, Shanghai, China, 10-12 October 2010).

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.
