N1  - Includes bibliographical references and indexes; -- Introduction and the Concept of Effective Stress; -- Equations Governing the Dynamic, Soil-Pore Fluid, Interaction; -- Finite Element Discretization and Solution of the Governing Equations; -- Constitutive Relations; -- Plasticity; -- Examples for Static, Consolidation and Partially Saturated Dynamic Problems; -- Validation of Prediction by Centrifuge; -- Prediction Applications and Back Analysis; -- Some Special Aspects of Analysis and Formulation; -- Computer Procedures for Static and Dynamic Saturated Porous Media finite element Analysis
N2  - Computational Geomechanics introduces the full theory of dynamic and static behaviour of porous media and shows how computation can predict the deformations of a structure, subject to an earthquake or consolidation; introduces the use of numerical, finite element procedures for soil and rock mechanics problems which has increased rapidly throughout the last decade; provides a comprehensive survey of major, constitutive models, which can simulate soil behaviour rationally; and explains practical procedures based on computational experience for real projects with particular emphasis on earthquake engineering
