Session 1 (Monday, October 3)
New trends in micromechanical approaches of Particulate Materials – experiments and modelling aspects
Coordinators: M. Karstunen, N. Benahmed, M. Hattab

Session 2 (Tuesday, October 4)
Mechanics of multiphase porous media in modelling cementitious materials: from early ages to durability issues
Coordinators: F. Pesavento, M. Briffaut, L. Sanavia
(a half-day workshop)

Session 3 (Wednesday, October 5)
Geomechanics of faults, with applications spanning from earthquake nucleation to landslides

ALERT Workshop 2015 – extended deadline

The deadline for the submission of abstracts for the ALERT Geomaterials Workshop 2015 (26th Edition) has been extended up to May 31, 2015!

Please submit your abstracts by email directly to the coordinators using the Workshop abstract form (doc, odt, pdf). Since time for the presentations is limited, only a part of the submitted abstracts can be chosen for the oral presentations. Therefore, we invite you to submit your abstract as soon as possible. The presentation can also be submitted as a poster. The abstracts of the posters will be published in a separate booklet (ISSN registered).
