NUMOG X reflects the current research and advances made in the application of numerical methods in geotechnical engineering. The papers are organised in the following four sections:

1. Constitutive relations for geomaterials

2. Numerical algorithms: formulation and performance

3. Modelling of transient / coupled problems

4. Application of numerical techniques to practical problems

Many new developments on a wide variety of topics have been reported at this Symposium. These include: description of mechanical properties of soil, instabilities in soil...
