An insight into the use of the finite method in geotechnical engineering. It is the second volume of a two-volume set, which seeks to cover the theory and practical applications of the subject and examine popular constitutive models, numerical techniques and case studies.
Provides the reader with an insight into the use of the finite element method in geotechnical engineering. This title presents the theory, assumptions and approximations involved in finite element analysis. It illustrates the restrictions, pitfalls, advantages and disadvantages of numerical analysis.
