COC 842 - UNSATURATED SOILS UNDER THE PERSPECTIVE OF UNSAT 2018

Objetivos
To study the concepts of unsaturated soils from the perspective of the material presented at the International Congress of Mechanics of Unsaturated Soils held in Hong Kong (August, 2018). The material of the course will be the presentations and papers of the recent conference.
