About this book

Coupling phenomena in non-saturated soils are fast becoming a headache for at least one of the following reasons: the large number of equations and unknowns, the complex T.H.M. behaviour of the soils, the sophisticated instrumentation required and/or the numerical instability encountered. If this is precisely your headache, read about the problem - and solutions to it - in "Modern Issues in Non-Saturated Soils”.
