Printedonacid-freepaper SpringerispartofSpringerScience+BusinessMedia(www.springer.com) 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 inavarietyoflaboratoryfacilitiesandtechniquesfortheanalysisofthebehaviour ofgeomaterialsandaimstoprovidereaderswithanoverviewofmoderntrendsin experimentalgeomechanics,including testing materials in variably saturated con- ditions,non-isothermalexperiments,micro-scaleinvestigationsandimageanalysis techniques,advancesinthe assessmentof compressibilityandtime-dependentbe- haviour,analysisofshalebehaviourandexperimentsontreatedandweatheredsoils.
