Degradations and Instabilities in Geomaterials

Authors: Felix Darve , Ioannis Vardoulakis Publisher: Springer Edition: 1 Publish Year: 2005 ISBN: 9783211219362 This book presents the most recents developments in the modelling of degradations (of thermo-chemo-mechanical origin) and of bifurcations and instabilities (leading to localized or diffuse failure modes) taking place in geomaterials (soils, rocks, concrete). Applications (landslides, rockfalls, debris flows, concrete and rock ageing, etc.)
