Geotechnical Modelling , by David Muir Wood
| New Geo Books |
Book Description (from Amazon.com):
From Book News, Inc.
The numerical modeling of soil behavior has a range of
engineering applications. In this monograph, Wood (civil
engineering, Bristol U., UK) attempts to provide the full range of
theoretical guidance he believes is necessary for engineers using
geotechnical modeling. Assuming a familiarity with basic soil
mechanics and traditional methods of geotechnical design, he
covers characteristics of soil behavior, constitutive modeling,
numerical modeling, physical modeling, centrifuge modeling,
theoretical modeling, and soil- structure interaction. Spon Press
is an imprint of Taylor & Francis.Copyright © 2004 Book News,

From Amazon.com
Modeling forms an implicit part of all engineering design, but
many geotechnical engineers are insufficiently aware of the
assumptions they make, or the nature and consequences of
those assumptions. This book will enable practicing engineers to
make informed decisions concerning soil model, boundary
conditions and the choice of elements in Finite Element models.
