The material in this work is focused on recent developments in
research into the stress-strain behavior of geomaterials, with an
emphasis on laboratory measurements, soil constitutive modeling and
behavior of soil structures (such as reinforced soils, piles and
slopes). The latest advancements in the field, such as the rate
effect and dynamic behavior of both clay and sand, behavior of
modified soils and soil mixtures, and soil liquefaction are
addressed.
This book is an outgrowth of the proceedings for the Geotechnical
Symposium in Roma, which was held on March 16 and 17, 2006 in Rome,
Italy. The Symposium was organized to celebrate the 60th birthday
of Prof. Tatsuoka as well as honoring his research achievement. The
publications are focused on the recent developments in the
stress-strain behavior of geomaterials, with an emphasis on
laboratory measurements, soil constitutive modeling and behavior of
soil structures (such as reinforced soils, piles and slopes). The
latest advancement in the field, such as the rate effect and
dynamic behavior of both clay and sand, behavior of modified soils
and soil mixtures, and soil liquefaction are addressed. A special
keynote paper by Prof. Tatsuoka is included with three other
keynote papers (presented by Prof. Lo Presti, Prof. Di Benedetto,
and Prof. Shibuya).
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.
