A simplified approach to applying the Finite Element Method to
geotechnical problems

Predicting soil behavior by constitutive equations that are based on
experimental findings and embodied in numerical methods, such as the
finite element method, is a significant aspect of soil mechanics.
Engineers are able to solve a wide range of geotechnical engineering
problems, especially inherently complex ones that resist traditional
analysis. Applied Soil Mechanics with ABAQUS® Applications provides
civil engineering students and practitioners with a simple, basic
introduction to applying the finite element method to soil mechanics
problems.

Accessible to someone with little background in soil mechanics and
finite element analysis, Applied Soil Mechanics with ABAQUS®
Applications explains the basic concepts of soil mechanics and then
prepares the reader for solving geotechnical engineering problems using
both traditional engineering solutions and the more versatile, finite
element solutions. Topics covered include:
Properties of Soil
Elasticity and Plasticity
Stresses in Soil
Consolidation
Shear Strength of Soil
Shallow Foundations
Lateral Earth Pressure and Retaining Walls
Piles and Pile Groups

Taking a unique approach, the author describes the general soil
mechanics for each topic, shows traditional applications of these
principles with longhand solutions, and then presents finite element
solutions for the same applications, comparing both. The book is
prepared with ABAQUS® software applications to enable a range of readers
to experiment firsthand with the principles described in the book (the
software application files are available under "student resources" at

By presenting both the traditional solutions alongside the FEM
solutions, Applied Soil Mechanics with ABAQUS® Applications is an ideal
introduction to traditional soil mechanics and a guide to alternative
solutions and emergent methods.
