Finite Element Analysis in Geotechnical Engineering Theory
1999,
440 pages, hardcover
$170.00
In this book, two eminent authors provide geotechnical and structural engineering practitioners, researchers and postgraduate students with an insight into the use of finite element methods in geotechnical contexts. The aim is to arm the reader with sufficient knowledge that they might make good judgements as to the credibility of the numerical results they may obtain, or review in the future. Using practical examples the authors illustrate the restrictions, pitfalls, advantages and disadvantages of such numerical analyses. This volume on the theory involved is complemented by another on the application of finite element analysis, using case studies to provide a holistic impression of the subject. Brief contents: Geotechnical analysis, Finite element theory for linear materials, geotechnical considerations, real soil behavior, elastic constitutive models, finite element theory for nonlinear materials, seepage and consolidation, three-dimensional finite element analysis, Fourier series aided finite element method.
