Multiscale Modeling of Soils

This chapter presents the multiscale modeling methodology for soils from micro to macro. First, the multiscale feature of soils within the general framework of the multiscale approach to granular materials is presented. Then, the fundamentals of micromech

Foreword

Constitutive models are fundamental training for graduate students in geotechnical engineering. For a long time, however, these models have lacked a simple and easy-to-understand platform for learning, training and practice between the theory and practice of soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering. Many engineers and practitioners, and even some researchers, have reservations about this topic. There is a mismatch between research and application. Especially in recent years, constitutive models aiming at refined simulations have been continuously developed, with increasing complexity and parameters. In addition, difficulties in parameter calibration have given rise to barriers to t
