Modeling in Geotechnical Engineering is a one stop reference for a range of computational models, the theory explaining how they work, and case studies describing how to apply them. Drawing on the expertise of contributors from a range of disciplines including geomechanics, optimization, and computational engineering, this book provides an interdisciplinary guide to this subject which is suitable for readers from a range of backgrounds.
Before tackling the computational approaches, a theoretical understanding of the physical systems is provided that helps readers to fully grasp the significance of the numerical methods. The various models are presented in detail, and advice is provided on how to select the correct model for your application.

Dr. Samui is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil
Engineering at NIT Patna, India. He received his PhD in
Geotechnical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Science
Bangalore, India, in 2008. His research interests include
geohazard, earthquake engineering, concrete technology, pile
foundation and slope stability, and application of AI for solving
different problems in civil engineering. Dr. Samui is a repeat
Elsevier editor but also a prolific contributor to journal papers,
book chapters, and peer-reviewed conference proceedings.
Prof. Sunita Kumari earned her Ph.D in Civil Engineering at Indian
Institute of
Technology Roorkee. Prof. Sunita had joined National Institute of
Technology Patna as
a faculty in 2006 and presently she is holding position of
Professor in the department of
Civil Engineering. She has supervised many PhD, post graduates and
graduates students
with teaching experience of more than 17 years in field of
Geotechnical Engineering and
Earthquake engineering. Her fields of specialization and interest
include: Modeling of
liquefaction and remedial measures, liquefaction behaviour of fine
grained soil,
practical application of soft computing in engineering, Coupled
soil- fluid interaction,
Coupled finite- Infinite Element solution of geotechnical problems.
Prof. Sunita has
developed modeling procedures for determination of response to
dynamic behaviour
of soil. She has also addressed a shortage of existing empirical,
semi-empirical, and
simplified equations for the evaluation of geo-risks. In addition
to the collaborative work
that motivated the development of these new modeling procedures in
geotechnical
engineering, she is also involved in applied and collaborative work
and research projects
that focus on numerical models. In addition, she also developed
Finite element based
code for determination of seismic liquefaction potential of soil
with infinite boundary.
Vladimir Makarov is a Professor, and head of the laboratory of
Geomechanics of Highly Compressed Rock & Rock Mass at Far-Eastern
Federal University, Vladivostock, Russia. He is also an Honorary
Professor at the University of Science and Technology of China
(Beijing). His research is currently focused on stress state
determination. Pradeep Kurup is a Distinguished University
Professor and Department Chair in Civil and Environmental
Engineering at the Francis College of Engineering, University of
Massachusetts, Lowell, USA. His research interests include
multi-sensor data fusion, site characterization and monitoring,
finite element modeling, and soil-structure interaction.
