We already received several promising abstracts for the session named: It is about time – time-dependent response of geomaterials where we will provide a platform to discuss the latest research on modelling and testing the rate-dependence of a wide range of geomaterials. In addition to fundamental studies on the origin at particle scale of rate-dependence in geomaterials the organisers encourage submissions from researchers that work with challenging rate-dependent problems at engineering scale.
Topics include but are not limited to: creep-relaxation effects; physico-chemical processes (swelling, pressure-solution); (strain) rate-effects; breakage and material degradation; inertial effects (dynamic processes in geomaterials)
We would like to receive your abstract no later than May 27th, if you think you can contribute to this session.
For submission, please e-mail: jelke.dijkstra@chalmers.se
Best Regards,
Jelke Dijkstra, Eleni Gerolymatou, Jean-Michel Pereira
