Recent Developments of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnics in Theory and Practice

Lecture Notes in Applied and Computational Mechanics Volume 91

Series Editors Peter Wriggers, Institut für Baumechanik und Numerische Mechanik, Leibniz Universität Hannover, Hannover, Niedersachsen, Germany Peter Eberhard, Institute of Engineering and Computational Mechanics, University of Stuttgart, Stuttgart, Germany

This series aims to report new developments in applied and computational mechanics - quickly, informally and at a high level. This includes the fields of fluid, solid and structural mechanics, dynamics and control, and related disciplines. The applied methods can be of analytical, numerical and computational nature. The series scope includes monographs, professional books, selected contributions from specialized conferences or workshops, edited volumes, as well as outstanding advanced textbooks. Indexed by EI-Compendex, SCOPUS, Zentralblatt Math, Ulrich’s, Current Mathematical Publications, Mathematical Reviews and MetaPress.
