Computational Multiphase Geomechanics

Numerical methods are essential tools in geotechnical engineering, particularly in computational geotechnics, and the book Computational Modeling of Multiphase Geomaterials covers recent progress in key areas such as air-water-soil mixture, cyclic constitutive models, anisotropic models, noncoaxial models, gradient models, compaction bands, and instability of unsaturated soils. It also includes applications to large-scale excavation, liquefaction analysis, methane hydrate development, and contamination using bentonite.

Numerical methods hold immense significance in the realm of geotechnical engineering, particularly in the field of computational geotechnics. There is a growing interest in the multifaceted nature of geomaterials, and the domain of computational geotechnics is witnessing a remarkable expansion. In collaboration with their companion volume, Computational Modeling of Multiphase Geomaterials (CRC Press, 2012), Fusao Oka and Sayuri Kimoto have compiled a comprehensive review of recent advancements in several critical areas. These include air-water-soil mixture, cyclic constitutive models, anisotropic models, noncoaxial models, gradient models, compaction bands (a manifestation of volumetric strain localization and strain localization under dynamic conditions), and the instability of unsaturated soils.

Furthermore, the text delves into the practical applications of computational modeling, encompassing large-scale excavation of ground, liquefaction analysis of levees during earthquakes, methane hydrate development, and the characterization of contamination using bentonite. Additionally, it addresses the erosion of embankments caused by seepage flow.

The authors' expertise and comprehensive coverage make this book an invaluable resource for researchers, practitioners, and students in the field of geotechnical engineering. It provides a thorough understanding of the latest computational modeling techniques and their applications, enabling them to address complex geotechnical challenges and contribute to the advancement of this vital discipline.
