Chemo-Mechanical Coupling in Clays: From Nano-scale to Engineering Applications 
Proceedings of the Workshop, Maratea, 38-30 June 2001

Clay behaviour is affected by coupled mechanical and chemical processes occurring in them at various scales. The peculiar chemical and electro-chemical properties of clays are the source of many undesired effects. These papers provide insight into the variables controlling clay behaviour.
