Energy Geotechnics includes 97 technical papers presented at the
1st International Conference on Energy Geotechnics (ICEGT 2016,
Kiel, Germany, 29-31 August 2016). The contributions provides
significant advances and critical challenges facing the areas of
fundamentals, constitutive and numerical modelling, testing
techniques and energy geotechnics applications. Energy Geotechnics
contains seven regular sessions and six minisymposia, with
contributions on discrete and continuum based modelling as well as
investigations based on experimental studies at various scales. The
papers on discrete and continuum based modelling examine the
behaviour of gas hydrate sediments, cyclic and
Themo-Hydro-Mechanical (T-H-M) modelling of energy piles,
non-linear behaviour of energy geo-storage and geo-structures,
deformation of geomaterials, modelling of borehole heat exchangers
and energy walls, analysis of hydraulic fracturing and
discontinuities in reservoirs, engineering problems involving gas
hydrates sediments, and modelling of environmental impact of energy
geotechnical processes.
This book focuses on the mathematical potential and computational
efficiency of the Boundary Element Method (BEM) for modeling
seismic wave propagation in either continuous or discrete
inhomogeneous elastic/viscoelastic, isotropic/anisotropic media
containing multiple cavities, cracks, inclusions and surface
topography. BEM models may take into account the entire seismic
wave path from the seismic source through the geological deposits
all the way up to the local site under consideration. The general
presentation of the theoretical basis of elastodynamics for
inhomogeneous and heterogeneous continua in the first part is
followed by the analytical derivation of fundamental solutions and
Green's functions for the governing field equations by the usage of
Fourier and Radon transforms. The numerical implementation of the
BEM is for antiplane in the second part as well as for plane strain
boundary value problems in the third part. Verification studies and
parametric analysis appear throughout the book, as do both recent
references and seminal ones from the past. Since the background of
the authors is in solid mechanics and mathematical physics, the
presented BEM formulations are valid for many areas such as civil
engineering, geophysics, material science and all others concerning
elastic wave propagation through inhomogeneous and heterogeneous
media. The material presented in this book is suitable for
self-study. The book is written at a level suitable for advanced
undergraduates or beginning graduate students in solid mechanics,
computational mechanics and fracture mechanics.

This open access book summarizes the results of the collaborative
project "GeomInt: Geomechanical integrity of host and barrier rocks
- experiment, modeling and analysis of discontinuities" within the
Program: Geo Research for Sustainability (GEO: N) of the Federal
Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). The use of geosystems as
a source of resources, a storage space, for installing underground
municipal or traffic infrastructure has become much more intensive
and diverse in recent years. Increasing utilization of the
geological environment requires careful analyses of the rock-fluid
systems as well as assessments of the feasibility, efficiency and
environmental impacts of the technologies under consideration. The
establishment of safe, economic and ecological operation of
underground geosystems requires a comprehensive understanding of
the physical, (geo)chemical and microbiological processes on all
relevant time and length scales. This understanding can only be
deepened on the basis of intensive laboratory and in-situ
experiments in conjunction with reliable studies on the modeling
and simulation (numerical experiments) of the corresponding
multi-physical/chemical processes. The present work provides a
unique handbook for experimentalists, modelers, analysts and even
decision makers concerning the characterization of various types of
host rocks (salt, clay, crystalline formations) for various
geotechnical applications.
