Book Synopsis Soil Behaviour and Critical State Soil Mechanics by : David Muir Wood
Download or read book Soil Behaviour and Critical State Soil Mechanics written by David Muir Wood. This book was released on 1991-04-26. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soils can rarely be described as ideally elastic or perfectly plastic and yet simple elastic and plastic models form the basis for the most traditional geotechnical engineering calculations. With the advent of cheap powerful computers the possibility of performing analyses based on more realistic models has become widely available. One of the aims of this book is to describe the basic ingredients of a family of simple elastic-plastic models of soil behaviour and to demonstrate how such models can be used in numerical analyses. Such numerical analyses are often regarded as mysterious black boxes but a proper appreciation of their worth requires an understanding of the numerical models on which they are based. Though the models on which this book concentrates are simple, understanding of these will indicate the ways in which more sophisticated models will perform.

Book Synopsis The Coupled Theory of Mixtures in Geomechanics with Applications by : George Z Voyiadjis
Download or read book The Coupled Theory of Mixtures in Geomechanics with Applications written by George Z Voyiadjis. This book was released on 2006-08-06. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geomaterials consist of a mixture of solid particles and void space that may be ?lled with ?uid and gas. The solid particles may be di?erent in sizes, shapes, and behavior; and the pore liquid may have various physical and chemical properties. Hence, physical, chemical or electrical interaction - tween the solid particles and pore ?uid or gas may take place. Therefore, the geomaterials in general must be considered a mixture or a multiphase material whose state is described by physical quantities in each phase. The stresses carried by the solid skeleton are typically termed “e?ective stress” while the stresses carried by the pore liquid are termed “pore pressure. ” The summation of the e?ective stress and pore pressure is termed “total stress” (Terzaghi, 1943). For a free drainage condition or completely undrained c- dition, the pore pressure change is zero or depends only on the initial stress condition; it does not depend on the skeleton response to external forces. Therefore, a single phase description of soil behavior is adequate. For an intermediate condition, however, some ?ow (pore pressure leak) may take place while the force is applied and the skeleton is under deformation. Due to the leak of pore pressure, the pore pressure changes with time, and the e?ective stress changes and the skeleton deforms with time accordingly. The solution of this intermediate condition, therefore, requires a multi-phase c- tinuum formulations that may address the interaction of solid skeleton and pore liquid interaction.
