Recent years have witnessed the development of computational  geomechanics as an important branch of engineering. The use of modern  computational techniques makes it possible to deal with many complex  engineering problems, taking into account many of the typical  properties of geotechnical materials (soil and rock), such as the  coupled behaviour of pore water and solid material, nonlinear  elasto-plastic behaviour, and transport processes. This book provides  an introduction to these methods, presenting the basic principles of  the geotechnical phenomena involved as well as the numerical models  for their analysis, and including full listings of computer programs  (in PASCAL). The types of geotechnical problems considered cover a  wide range of applications, varying from classical problems such as  slope stability, analysis of foundation piles and sheet pile walls to  finite element analysis of groundwater flow, elasto-plastic  deformations, consolidation and transport problems.
