Environmental Geomechanics cover a wide range of topics
concerned with the mechanical behaviour of geomaterials.
The problems addressed are complex, mainly due to the
coexistence of several species and phases, to their
interaction and their often non-linear behaviour.
Experimental evidence is difficult to obtain and laboratory
as well as in-situ testing procedures present serious
challenges. Numerical techniques are used to solve the
complex non-linear analytical systems. Integration of new
models for engineering applications will require a
considerable effort among engineering teams. Due to the
number of phenomena influencing the solutions an
interdisciplinary approach to Environmental Geomechanics is
therefore necessary.
The first part of the volume contains invited keynote
lectures addressing various aspects of the subject of
Environmental Geomechanics. It can serve as a starting
point for further research thanks to its in-depth treatment
and its rich bibliographic references. The second part
contains various selected contributions. These reflect the
broad scope of Environmental Geomechanics and appeal for
more research efforts in this domain. Many practical
problems relating to engineering practice are also
presented which make the book an invaluable "state of the
art" guide in this very important field.
The Workshop will specifically cover the following topics
of environmental geomechanics: Constitutive aspects -
Mechanics of unsaturated soils, thermal behaviour,
influence of chemical content of fluids on the mechanical
properties, durability, creep and long-term effects.
Coupled Formulations - Thermodynamics, mixture theories,
intercation between constituents, phase changes. Case
studies - Advanced modelling of real cases will provide
example of potential and limitations of the existing
theories.
