BIOT 2013 - The 5th BIOT Conference on Poromechanics (BIOT-5)

The 5th BIOT Conference on Poromechanics (BIOT-5) will be held at Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien), Vienna, Austria, July 10-12, 2013. In 2013 it seems appropriate to commemorate the “grandfather” of poromechanics, Karl von Terzaghi (1883-1963), the founder of consolidation experiments and theoretical soil mechanics in general, who, from 1929 to 1939, had his "home base" as a full professor of the Vienna University of Technology.
