The theme of the Workshop is Constitutive Models: Critical Review, Fundamental Evaluation and Practical Applications. The topics in the theme area include:

(i)     Measured properties and behaviour of geomaterials

(ii)    Fundamentals and general approaches in constitutive modelling

(iii)   Constitutive models for granular materials

(iv)   Constitutive model for clays

(v)    Constitutive models for rocks

(vi)   Identification of parameters, their determination and sensitivity

(vii)  Validation of constitutive models

(viii) Implementation of constitutive models,

(ix)   Applications of constitutive models in geotechnical engineering, and

(x)    Critical review and fundamental evaluation of constitutive models.

Papers in relation to identification, validation, calibration, and sensitivity study of model parameters are particularly welcomed.
