Numerical Methods in Geotechnical Engineering: Recent Developments : Proceedings of Sessions of Geo-Denver 2000 (Geotechnical Special Publication)

By George Michael Filz

Proceedings of sessions of Geo-Denver 2000, held in Denver, Colorado, August 5-8, 2000. Sponsored by the Geo-Institute of ASCE. This Geotechnical Special Publication (GSP 96) contains eight papers that describe ways in which advanced numerical methods can be applied to geotechnical engineering. Topics include: applications of artificial neural networks for characterizing the stress-strain behavior of soil; comparisons between discrete element modeling and laboratory data from shear box tests; numerical analyses of lateral earth support problems, including retaining walls, slurry walls, and a soil-nailed slope; methods for and results of advanced numerical modeling of footings on granular soils; and the spectral stochastic finite element method to analyze multiphase flow in a random porous medium.
