Computers & Geosciences is a scientific journal published monthly by Elsevier on behalf of the International Association for Mathematical Geosciences. [1] It contains research and review papers in computing applied to geosciences .
The material point method (MPM) is a numerical technique used to simulate the behavior of solids, liquids, gases, and any other continuum material. Especially, it is a robust spatial discretization method for simulating multi-phase (solid-fluid-gas) interactions.
Geotechnical engineering, also known as geotechnics, is the branch of civil engineering concerned with the engineering behavior of earth materials. It uses the principles of soil mechanics and rock mechanics to solve its engineering problems. It also relies on knowledge of geology, hydrology, geophysics, and other related sciences.
David Malcolm Potts (born 1952) is a professor of Analytical Soil Mechanics at Imperial College London [2] and the head of the Geotechnics Section at Imperial College. [3] He has been a member of the academic staff at Imperial College since 1979, responsible for teaching the use of analytical methods in geomechanics and the design of slopes and earth retaining structures, both at undergraduate ...
With advances in computer technology, the accuracy of numerical models has been improved. [2] Numerical modeling has become an important tool for tackling geological problems, [2] especially for the parts of the Earth that are difficult to observe directly, such as the mantle and core. Yet analog modeling is still useful in modeling geological ...
9-metre-radius (30 ft) geotechnical centrifuge at the University of California, Davis. Geotechnical centrifuge modeling is a technique for testing physical scale models of geotechnical engineering systems such as natural and man-made slopes and earth retaining structures and building or bridge foundations.
Platforms offshore Mexico. Offshore geotechnical engineering is a sub-field of geotechnical engineering.It is concerned with foundation design, construction, maintenance and decommissioning for human-made structures in the sea. [1]
Exposed slurry wall of the World Trade Center at Ground Zero. A slurry wall is a civil engineering technique used to build reinforced concrete walls in areas of soft earth close to open water, or with a high groundwater table. [1]
