Chung C.K. at al. (Eds.) Deformation Characteristics of Geomaterials

Proceedings of the Fifth International Symposium on Deformation Characteristics of Geomaterials, is Seoul 2011, 1-3 September 2011, Seoul, Korea. — IOS Press, 2011. — 1380 p. — ISBN: 978-1-60750-821-2This symposium explores and shares ideas about the complex load-deformation response in geomaterials, including laboratory methods for small and large strains; anisotropy and localization; time-dependent responses in soils; characteristics of treated, unsaturated, and natural geomaterials; applications in field methods; evaluation of field performance in geotechnical structures; and physical and numerical modeling in geomechanics.
The main themes of the 5th symposium include:
Experimental investigations from very small strains to beyond failure
Behavior, characterization and modeling of various geomaterials
Practical prediction and interpretation of ground response: field observation and case histories
