Geomechanics: Testing, Modeling, and Simulation gathers the most
state-of-the-art geomechanics research conducted by investigators
from the United States and Japan. This book contains papers
presenting new data, methods, and facilities on a variety of topics
in the areas of testing, modeling, and numerical simulations in
geomechanics. A wide range of research is incorporated into the
text, which is divided into eight sections: time effects;
stress-strain behavior and cyclic loading residual strains;
anisotropy and fabric bonding; shear banding and postpeak
stress-strain behavior; liquefaction; effects of particle size,
gradation, and particle breakage; new testing equipment and
systems; and innovative computational methods. Included is an
appendix of discussion notes, which were recorded upon the papers'
presentation. Those with an interest in the current trends and
research topics in geomechanics in the United States and Japan will
find this book extremely beneficial.
Soil Constitutive Models: Evaluation, Selection, and Calibration
brings together papers by nineteen of the most significant
constitutive modelers in the world today. The papers in this ""ASCE
Geotechnical Special Publication"" are focused on existing widely
accepted soil constitutive models, from simple to complex, and they
present the overall model framework, calibration procedures, and
possible implementation. As a guide to the reader, an overview
paper discusses features of different classes of soil models, and
their advantages and disadvantages. For many models in this book
and in the literature, these features are tabulated in a series of
tables. The models are then categorized in terms of their
completeness with respect to eight different model capabilities.
This book has been prepared for soil constitutive modelers and
practitioners who want to learn more about the underlying
principles, calibration methods and implementation issues of many
different proven soil models. The overview paper is especially
helpful to those who are not experienced constitutive modelers to
understand the different components of soil models and their effect
on predictions. This book provides a basis for making the
appropriate decision on the selection of a soil constitutive model
for any particular geotechnical engineering application.
