Computational Multiphase Geomechanics
Computational Multiphase Geomechanics by Fusao Oka, published by Taylor & Francis Limited on November 22, 2021, is a comprehensive exploration of numerical methods in geotechnical engineering. This 334-page edition delves into the expanding field of computational geotechnics, focusing on the multi-phase nature of geomaterials. The book addresses significant advancements in various areas, including air-water-soil mixtures and cyclic constitutive models, providing a detailed overview of the methodologies and applications relevant to modern engineering challenges.
Readers will find discussions on critical topics such as anisotropic and noncoaxial models, gradient models, and the behavior of unsaturated soils. The text also presents practical applications of computational modeling, including large-scale excavation, liquefaction analysis during earthquakes, and the development of methane hydrates. Additionally, it examines the characteristics of contamination using bentonite and the erosion of embankments due to seepage flow. This edition serves as a valuable resource for those interested in the intersection of science, engineering, and earth sciences.
Official synopsis Publisher
Numerical methods are very powerful tools for use in geotechnical engineering, particularly in computational geotechnics. Interest is strong in the new field of multi-phase nature of geomaterials, and the area of computational geotechnics is expanding.
Alongside their companion volume Computational Modeling of Multiphase Geomaterials (CRC Press, 2012), Fusao Oka and Sayuri Kimoto cover recent progress in several key areas, such as air-water-soil mixture, cyclic constitutive models, anisotropic models, noncoaxial models, gradient models, compaction bands (a form of volumetric strain localization and strain localization under dynamic conditions), and the instability of unsaturated soils.
The text also includes applications of computational modeling to large-scale excavation of ground, liquefaction analysis of levees during earthquakes, methane hydrate development, and the characteristics of contamination using bentonite. The erosion of embankments due to seepage flow is also presented.
