Introduction

Following the success of the last conference held in Sydney, Australia in 2014, the HKUST is pleased to invite you to attend_datetime the 7th International Conference on Unsaturated Soils (UNSAT2018) in 3rd - 5th August 2018. This conference will cover a broad range of themes and provide an excellent opportunity for worldwide academics, engineers, scientists, government officials and planners to present and exchange the latest developments in the research and application of unsaturated soil mechanics.

UNSAT2018 is now calling for Abstracts. A template of an abstract can be downloaded from unsat2018.org. Abstracts should be deposited to the online submission system.
