Computational Geomechanics Including Consolidation

摘要: A review is presented of the role computational mechanics in geotechnical engineering. Discussions conventional deterministic techniques used for numerical modeling geomechanics and a brief discussion stochastic dealing with uncertainties encountered practice are included. Considerable emphasis given to methods commonly solution boundary initial value problems. Significantly, chapter also includes limitations various techniques. Constitutive soil rock mass behavior material interfaces an essential component this type computing, so recent developments capabilities constitutive models geomaterials Problems involving interaction ground other engineering structures addressed. Some concepts described paper illustrated examples taken from research practice. Emphasis has been placed on mechanical soil, but it noted that many have application engineering.
