Soil-structure interaction is an area of major importance in
geotechnical engineering and geomechanics Advanced Geotechnical
Engineering: Soil-Structure Interaction using Computer and Material
Models covers computer and analytical methods for a number of
geotechnical problems. It introduces the main factors important to
the application of computer methods and constitutive models with
emphasis on the behavior of soils, rocks, interfaces, and joints,
vital for reliable and accurate solutions. This book presents
finite element (FE), finite difference (FD), and analytical methods
and their applications by using computers, in conjunction with the
use of appropriate constitutive models; they can provide realistic
solutions for soil-structure problems. A part of this book is
devoted to solving practical problems using hand calculations in
addition to the use of computer methods. The book also introduces
commercial computer codes as well as computer codes developed by
the authors. Uses simplified constitutive models such as linear and
nonlinear elastic for resistance-displacement response in 1-D
problems Uses advanced constitutive models such as elasticplastic,
continued yield plasticity and DSC for microstructural changes
leading to microcracking, failure and liquefaction Delves into the
FE and FD methods for problems that are idealized as
two-dimensional (2-D) and three-dimensional (3-D) Covers the
application for 3-D FE methods and an approximate procedure called
multicomponent methods Includes the application to a number of
problems such as dams , slopes, piles, retaining (reinforced earth)
structures, tunnels, pavements, seepage, consolidation, involving
field measurements, shake table, and centrifuge tests Discusses the
effect of interface response on the behavior of geotechnical
systems and liquefaction (considered as a microstructural
instability) This text is useful to practitioners, students,
teachers, and researchers who have backgrounds in geotechnical,
structural engineering, and basic mechanics courses.
