Starting from the highly successful First Edition, Coussy has completely re-written Mechanics of Porous Continua/Poromechanics to include:

• New material for:
  • Partially saturated porous media
  • Reactive porous media
  • Macroscopic electrical effects
• A single theoretical framework to the subject to explain the interdisciplinary nature of the subject
• Exercises at the end of each chapter to aid understanding

The unified approach taken by this text makes it a valuable addition to the bookshelf of every PhD student and researcher in civil engineering, petroleum engineering, geophysics, biomechanics and material science.
