Springer Advances in Innovative Geotechnical Engineering: Proceedings of the 6th GeoChina International Conference on Civil & Transportation Infrastructures: ... 2021 (Sustainable Civil Infrastructures)

With the development of social and science, new requirements are put forward for geotechnical engineering. Advanced geotechnical techniques were proposed to solve the new challenges in geotechnical engineering. The articles presented in this volume aim to the new development of geotechnical engineering such as characterization of geomaterials, slope stability, application of environmental protection materials and some other geotechnical issues that are becoming quite relevant in today's world.
