Nuclear waste disposal, bio-mediated ground improvement, design of energy piles, development of geothermal energy, methane hydrate exploitation, design on unsaturated and frozen soils are amongst the most pressing and challenging problems facing the geomechanics community. They involve hydro-bio-chemo-physical and mechanical processes under coupled conditions. For this symposium presentations are solicited focusing on recent advances in modeling coupled phenomena at various scales, as well as on experiments providing new insights into the underlying fundamentals.
