Modern Issues in Non-Saturated Soils (CISM International Centre for Mechanical Sciences)

Springer, 2002

Coupling phenomena in non-saturated soils are fast becoming a headache for at least one of the following reasons: the large number of equations and unknowns, the complex T.H.M. behaviour of the soils, the sophisticated instrumentation required and/or the numerical instability encountered. If this is precisely your headache, read about the problem - and solutions to it - in "Modern Issues in Non-Saturated Soils".

The Finite Element Method in the Static and Dynamic Deformation and Consolidation of Porous Media, 2nd Edition

Appeared in Meccanica, Vol. 34, n. 3, June 1999, pp. 231-232
(with kind permission from Kluver Academic Publisher) The mechanics of porous multiphase media (composed of a deformable solid skeleton and one or more fluids) are known to stem primarily from the pioneering works of P. Fillunger and C. Terzaghi, motivated by geotechnical and dam engineering during and after the first World War and from the more academic investigations of M. A. Biot during and ...

Computational Geomechanics with Special Reference to Earthquake Engineering

Wiley, 1999

A definitive work
Zienkiewicz has been a major force in the development of the field of computational geomechanics. He is credited for implementing the critical state soil mechanics into the finite element method--a pioneering work that he and co-authors bring to a completion in this ground-breaking book. "Computational Geomechanics" presents a balanced mix of firmly established, established, and barely ...
