GeoShanghai International Conference (2006: Shanghai, China). Ed. by Ning Lu et al. Am. Society of Civil Engineers 2006 376 pages $110.00 Paperback Geotechnical special publication; no.148 TA710 The 42 selected papers report the current understanding in applied unsaturated soil mechanics and couples phenomena in geotechnical engineering practice. The featured articles are Field Applications of Unsaturated Soil Mechanics by E.E. Alonso (U. Politecnica de Catalunya, Barcelona), and Waste Mechanics: Recent Findings and Unanswered Questions by Edward Kavananjian, Jr. (Arizona State U.-Tempe). Other topics include the collapse property and microstructure mi·cro·struc·ture n. The structure of an organism or object as revealed through microscopic examination. microstructure Noun a structure on a microscopic scale, such as that of a metal or a cell of loess loess (lĕs, lō`əs, Ger. lös), unstratified soil deposit of varying thickness, usually yellowish and composed of fine-grained angular mineral particles mixed with clay. , fluid distribution in porous media under microgravity mi·cro·grav·i·ty n. 1. An environment in which there is very little net gravitational force, as of a free-falling object, an orbit, or interstellar space. 2. , and an in-situ method for removing nitrate-nitrogen contaminated groundwater.
