The macro-scale material behavior is a representation
of the average micro-scale material behavior.
The micro-scale material behavior is a representation
of the average molecular-scale (Nano- scale) material
behavior.
By obtaining molecular-scale material properties, the
macro-scale material behavior is obtained,

with limited input parameters and
with great accuracy and details.
With the blooming Nano-technology, molecular-scale
material properties have more importance than ever.

Theoretical Background
Bridging Nano- and Continuumfor soils
•Soil grains are continuum in Nano- to micro scale (sand
grains and clay minerals).
•But they are discrete media in macro scale (soil masss).
•Therefore, bridging b/t Nano-, micro, and macro scales for
soils shall be done as follows;

Conclusions/Remarks



With the aid of accessible software to Nano-mechanics,
material scientists can predict the detailed material
properties that was never possible in the past.
Application of Nano-mechanics to obtain the property of
macro-scale requires substantial computational efforts,
but it is impossible.
For soils bridging nano-, micro- and macro scales is
achieved by combination of molecular mechanics,
particular mechanics and continuum mechanics.
