AREUS ANISOTROPIC RESPONSE OF UNSATURATED SOILS: A MICROSTRUCTURAL APPROACH
Coordinator: UNIVERSIDAD MAYOR DE SAN SIMON (BO)
The expression “unsaturated soil” is used in geotechnical engineering to identify a class of soils whose pores are partially filled with water and partially filled with air. Unsaturated soils occur naturally above the water table as a superficial ground layer, whose thickness depends on the balance of precipitation and evapo-transpiration and, hence, on the prevailing local climatic conditions. Unsaturated soils also occur in manmade structures that are built by compacted earth such as embankments, gravity dams, barriers for underground nuclear waste repositories and flood defences. The engin…
About Seventh Framework Programme (2007–2013)
The Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) ran from 2007 to 2013 and was the EU's main research-funding instrument of that period. It mobilised roughly €50 billion across cooperation projects, ERC frontier grants, Marie Curie fellowships, capacity-building actions and Euratom research. FP7 closed to new calls in 2013 but its projects continued for years after under their original grant agreements.
EU contribution: €15k awarded to the consortium.
