Publication of the Traité de Génie Civil n°18 !

Soil and rock mechanics are domains that are generally separated in the literature. For the first time, a book unites these two disciplines, integrating as well groundwater seepage and heat transfer aspects linked to rock and soil mechanics. At once theoretical and practical, this book describes first the nature and the composition of the soils and the rocks, then focuses on boundary values problems and present the tests allowing for the mechanical as well as hydraulic and thermal characterization of the soils and the rocks.
