Basic and Applied Salt Mechanics Proceedings of the 5th Conference on Mechanical Behaviour of Salt, Bucharest, 9-11 August 1999

The proceedings include 44 full papers and summaries that clearly describe the main findings and ongoing studies of the different research groups attending the Bucharest conference. Major topics discussed include: laboratory and in-situ testing; coupled effects and permeability; creep damage and dilatancy; constitutive modelling; crushed salt behaviour; numerical modelling; storage and disposal projects; mining applications; case studies; and salt pillars and cavities. The proceedings contain also a bibliography update (some 170 references not included in the proceedings of earlier conferences), a list of the conference participants and their affiliation, and a detailed subject and author index.Cristescu, N.
