Preface
Significant advancements in the experimental analysis of soils and shales have
beenachievedoverthelastseveraldecades.Fundamentalissueshavebeensolved,
and important achievements have been made in specific areas, including the de-
velopment of multiphase testing facilities for non-isothermal conditions and the
characterisationofthe microstructuralarrangementofcomplexgeomaterials.This
outstanding progress has led to improvements in the theoretical development of
geomechanical theories, such as the constitutive modelling of multiphysical and
multiscaleprocesses,aswellasimportantengineeringapplications.
This book is a compilation of the contributions to the international workshop,
“Advances in Multiphysical Testing of Soils and Shales,” held at the Swiss Fed-
eralInstituteofTechnologyinLausanne(EPFL)onSeptember3-5,2012,underthe
auspicesoftheTechnicalCommittee101oftheInternationalSocietyforSoilMe-
chanicsandGeotechnicalEngineering.Thepresenttextfocusesonrecentadvances
