Geotechnical Modelling by David Muir Wood (English) Paperback Book

Description: Geotechnical Modelling by David Muir Wood This book will enable practising engineers to make informed decisions concerning soil model, boundary conditions and the choice of elements in Finite Element models. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The book is derived from courses given to M level students (postgraduate and final year undergraduate MEng 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. Back Cover Modelling forms an implicit part of all engineering design but many engineers engage in modelling without consciously considering the nature, validity and consequences of the supporting assumptions. 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 behaviour which contribute to the challenge of geotechnical modelling.
