DESCRIPTION:Prof. Laloui is the organizer of the prestigious Geotechnique 
 Symposium in Print 2013 on “Bio- and Chemo- Mechanical Processes in Geot
 echnical Engineering. In recent years substantial advances have been made 
 in understanding the coupling between chemical and biological processes an
 d mechanical and hydraulic behaviours in soils and rocks. At the same time
 \, experimentation and modelling capabilities have progressed significantl
 y\, allowing effective design of geotechnical applications. The need for s
 uch analyses arises (for example) in chemical and biological soil improvem
 ent\; nuclear\, hazardous and municipal waste containment\; petroleum and 
 natural gas extraction\; methane hydrate exploitation\; CO2 sequestration\
 ; and assessment of pavement durability. This symposium will provide a for
 um to take stock of different approaches to the experimental characterisat
 ion\, constitutive modelling and design/monitoring of geotechnical enginee
 ring applications.
