Written by leading experts in the field as a tribute to Jean Biarez (1927-2006), it can be of great use and interest to researchers and engineers alike.A brief introduction describes how a major school of soil mechanics came into being through the exemplary teaching by one man. Biarez's life-long work consisted of explaining the elementary mechanisms governing soil constituents in order to enhance understanding of the underlying scientific laws which control the behavior of constructible sites and to incorporate these scient 410 0$aISTE 606 $aEngineering geology$xMathematical models 606 $aSoil mechanics$xMathematical models. 615 0$aEngineering geology$xMathematical models. 615 0$aSoil mechanics$xMathematical models. 676 $a624.1/5 701 $aHicher$b Pierre-Yves$0727120 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824097103321 996 $aMultiscale geomechanics$94013791 997 $aUNINA
