Rock and Soil Rheology: Proceedings of the Euromech Colloquium 196 September 10-13, 1985, Bucharest, Romania (Lecture Notes in Earth Sciences)

The first part of the volume contains theoretical considerations of the physical properties of soils and rocks. Articles on the mechanical and kinematical behavior of rocks as well as mathematical models are the base for the understanding of the physical properties of natural systems. In the second part articles deal with experiments and applications regarding creep deformation of clay, underground cavities, tunnels and deformation of sand and lamistrine sediments.
