Advanced Geotechnical Engineering: Soil-Structure Interaction using Computer and Material Models

By Chandrakant S. Desai and Musharraf Zaman

This book provides readers with a comprehensive treatment of computer methods and constitutive models that they can use for teaching, research, and solving a wide range of practical problems in geotechnical engineering and geomechanics. It discusses factors such as in-situ conditions, elastic, plastic and creep deformations, stress path, volume change, existence of fluids (water), non-homogeneities, inherent and induced discontinuities or microcracking leading to softening and failure, and types of loading such as static, repetitive and dynamic.
