Geomaterials in Geotechnical Engineering

Abstract

[...]the micro-macro behaviour, interpretation and modelling, modification, and engineering application of multiphase geomaterials should be systematically studied by the new testing technologies, new theoretical frameworks, and new analysis tools. The strength and deformation behaviour of the treated geomaterials are essential for their engineering applications. [...]many research works in this special issue are related to the experimental study on the strength and deformation behaviour. [...]T. P. Mashifana et al. studied geotechnical properties and microstructure of lime-fly ash-phosphogypsum-stabilized soil. [...]in our opinion, this special issue brings new insights into the natural and treated multiphase geomaterials, in terms of the theoretical studies from micro- to macroscale and experimental investigations in laboratory and in situ.
