A simplified approach to applying the Finite Element Method to geotechnical problems
Predicting soil behavior by constitutive equations that are based on experimental findings and embodied in numerical methods, such as the finite element method, is a significant aspect of soil mechanics. Engineers are able to solve a wide range of geotechnical engineering problems, especially inherently complex ones that resist traditional analysis. Applied Soil Mechanics with ABAQUS® Applications provides civil engineering students and practitioners with a simple, basic introduction to applying the finite element method to soil mechanics problems.
Accessible to someone with little background in soil mechanics and finite element analysis, Applied Soil Mechanics with ABAQUS® Applications explains the basic concepts of soil mechanics and then prepares the reader for solving geotechnical engineering problems using both traditional engineering solutions and the more versatile, finite element solutions. Topics covered include:
Properties of Soil
Elasticity and Plasticity
Stresses in Soil
Consolidation
Shear Strength of Soil
Shallow Foundations
Lateral Earth Pressure and Retaining Walls
Piles and Pile Groups

Taking a unique approach, the author describes the general soil mechanics for each topic, shows traditional applications of these principles with longhand solutions, and then presents finite element solutions for the same applications, comparing both. The book is prepared with ABAQUS® software applications to enable a range of readers to experiment firsthand with the principles described in the book (the software application files are available under "student resources" at

). By presenting both the traditional solutions alongside the FEM solutions, Applied Soil Mechanics with ABAQUS® Applications is an ideal introduction to traditional soil mechanics and a guide to alternative solutions and emergent methods.

Introduction To Nearshore Hydrodynamics
Publisher: World Scientific Publishing Company | ISBN: 9812561420 | edition 2006 | PDF | 744 pages | 10,6 mb
This book is intended as an introductory textbook for graduate students and as a reference book for engineers and scientists working in the field of coastal engineering. As such it gives a description of the theories for wave and nearshore hydrodynamics. It is meant to de-mystify the topics and hence starts at a fairly basic level. It requires knowledge of fluid mechanics equivalent to a first year graduate level. At the end of each topic, an attempt is made to give an overview of the present stage of the scientific development in that area with numerous references for further studies.

Frontiers of Computational Fluid Dynamics 2002
Publisher: World Scientific Publishing Company | ISBN: 9810248490 | edition 2004 | PDF | 300 pages | 21,5 mb
This series of volumes on the "Frontiers of Computational Fluid Dynamics" was introduced to honour contributors who have made a major impact on the field. The first volume was published in 1994 and was dedicated to Professor Antony Jameson; the second was published in 1998 and was dedicated to Professor Earl Murman. The volume is dedicated to Professor Robert MacCormack. The 26 chapters in the current volume have been written by leading researchers from academia, government laboratories, and industry. They present up-to-date descriptions of recent developments in techniques for numerical analysis of fluid flow problems, and applications of these techniques to important problems in industry, as well as the classic paper that introduced the "MacCormack scheme" to the world.

Description
'Precast Concrete Structures' introduces the subject in detail looking at the design process, manufacture and construction using precast concrete for multi-storey buildings. Detailed structural analysis of the material and its use is provided. The theory is supported by practical case studies and worked examples. There are explanatory illustrations throughout. Endorsed by the British Precast Concrete Federation and written by an acknowledged authority, this is the first book to explain and educate the student in the uses and advantages of precast concrete.
Contents
What is precast concrete;
Materials used in precast structures;
Precast frame analysis;
Precast concrete floors;
Precast concrete beams;
Columns and shear walls;
Horizontal floor diaphragms;
Joints and connections;
Beam and column connections;
Ties in precast concrete structures.
