In the past fifteen years experimental and theoretical characterisation of the pre-failure deformation properties of geomaterials has developed enormously. In r
The second of two volumes from the 1999 conference (v.1 was published in 1999) makes available the opening lecture on pre-failure behavior of soils as construct
This work examines the measurement and application of shear deformation characteristics of a wide spectrum of geomaterials, including clays, gravels and cement-
