The book gives you the basic knowledge of modeling in geotechnical engineering.
This book begins by presenting some of the models which form a part of the typical undergraduate geotechnical curriculum. There is then a description of some of the aspects of soil behavior which contribute to the challenge of geotechnical modelling.
The book is derived from courses given to students (postgraduate and final year undergraduate students). A familiarity with basic soil mechanics and with traditional methods of geotechnical design is assumed. The book will also be useful to practising engineers who find themselves involved in the specification of numerical or physical geotechnical modelling.
Modelling forms an implicit part of all engineering design but many engineers are not aware either of the fact that they are making assumptions as part of the modelling or of the nature and consequences of those assumptions.
Many engineers make use of numerical modelling but may not have stopped to think about the approximations and assumptions that are implicit in that modelling still less about the nature of the constitutive models that may have been invoked. They are probably not aware of the possibilities and implications of physical modelling either at single gravity or on a centrifuge at multiple gravities.
The book gives you the basic knowledge of modeling in geotechnical engineering.
Recommended for teachers and professors and students of postgraduate study.
