5th international conference on unsaturated soils
September 6-8, 2010, Barcelona, Spain
The series of International Conference on Unsaturated Soils ("UNSAT" conferences) constitute the main event in the field. UNSAT 2010 will provide the opportunity to take stock of the current state-of-the-art and to set the bases for future advances. The aim of the organizers is to provide an effective environment to present, review and discuss advances in the theory and application of Unsaturated Soil Mechanics. In addition to classical topics, the scope of the conference has been enlarged to cover new areas (swelling rocks, rockfill mechanics, multiphase media, and freezing soils) where present concepts on unsaturated soils have proved to be particularly useful.

The deadline for Abstract's reception was extended to mid-July.

IS-Shanghai 2010
International Symposium on Geomechanics and Geotechnics: from Micro to Macro
Oct. 10 . 2010 , Tongji University, Shanghai, China
Soils are composed of grains but they are generally treated as continua in the classical framework of geomechanics. Their macroscopic response under loading, such as their non-linearity and anisotropy, is controlled by their micro-structure, the characteristics of the grains and the disposition of contacts between them. There have been rapid advances in technology both to investigate the microscopic properties of soils, and to simulate their granular behaviour explicitly through Discrete Element Method (DEM). DEM was originally used to reproduce element tests, but it is now being advocated for boundary-value problems. This symposium aims to provide an opportunity for the exchange of ideas and information on experiments, numerical models and engineering applications related to the discrete nature of geomaterials.
