OverviewThere are many constitutive models for describing the behaviour of soils, but they are invariably either very complex or limited when it comes to describing three-dimensional stress-strain behaviour. The tij concept allows you to directly extrapolate one-dimensional models into three dimensions. Beginning with the basics of one-dimensional modelling this book takes you through the process of modelling both simple and complex behaviour in a variety of geomaterials. These materials, including normally consolidated clay, over consolidated clay, natural deposited clay, loose sand, dense sand and others, are dealt with using simple and unified methods. You will then be introduced to the tij concept and shown how this can be used to create three dimensional models. In the second part of the book, these three-dimensional models are applied to the analysis of boundary value problems, with the author's own laboratory evidence used to prove the models' reliability. The simplicity of the tij concept makes this book accessible for graduate students and researchers, while its reliability and flexibility make it valuable for researchers and professionals.

The style is typical of Prof. Nakai, namely correct, concise and complete. The line drawings and photos are well proportionated and reproduced with high quality. The access to the stuff is made easy by embarking on the 1D relationship at the beginning of the book, which makes it an excellent text-book for graduate students. However, the book is also highly recommended to experts who wish to brush up their knowledge in constitutive modeling. I enjoyed reading this book for my review and was rewarded with surprising goodies here and there. There are many details to be discovered. -Acta Geotechnica, 2013 Author InformationTeruo Nakai is a professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at Nagoya Institute of Technology, Japan Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
