PREFACE
Environmental Geomechanics covers a broad class of problems where deforming geomaterials are involved, usually coupled with fluid flow and transport of some substance. They involve hence multi-physics aspects. Transport of contaminants and other substances may occur in the fluids, e.g. water, water vapour and air, filling the pores of geomaterials. Mass transport also takes place in reservoir engineering problems, where the fluids involved are oil, water and gas. Problems typical to the area of environmental geomechanics deal with soil pollution and confinement of industrial, municipal and nuclear waste where design of appropriate barriers is important. Materials for such barriers are soil, rock and concrete. The behaviour of these materials in deep and surface disposal conditions has to be studied. Environmental geomechanics also deals with the durability of geomaterials such as natural stone, concrete, brick Finally an important topic with environmental implications is surface subsidence due to groundwater withdrawal or as experienced above exploited hydrocarbon reservoirs. In most of these problems an in depth knowledge of heat and mass transfer in deforming porous media is important. This book is based on the lectures given during the advanced course on Environmental Geomechanics organized by the International Centre for Mechanical Sciences in Udine in October 1999. It presents a review ofthe current state ofthe art and up-to-date
