Request a sales quoteModeling in Geotechnical Engineering is a one stop reference for a range of computational models, the theory explaining how they work, and case studies describing how to apply them. Drawing on the expertise of contributors from a range of disciplines including geomechanics, optimization, and computational engineering, this book provides an interdisciplinary guide to this subject which is suitable for readers from a range of backgrounds.
Before tackling the computational approaches, a theoretical understanding of the physical systems is provided that helps readers to fully grasp the significance of the numerical methods. The various models are presented in detail, and advice is provided on how to select the correct model for your application.
- Provides detailed descriptions of different computational modelling methods for geotechnical applications, including the finite element method, the finite difference method, and the boundary element method
- Gives readers the latest advice on the use of big data analytics and artificial intelligence in geotechnical engineering
- Includes case studies to help readers apply the methods described in their own work

Sunita Kumari
Prof. Sunita Kumari earned her Ph.D in Civil Engineering at Indian Institute of
Technology Roorkee. Prof. Sunita had joined National Institute of Technology Patna as
a faculty in 2006 and presently she is holding position of Professor in the department of
Civil Engineering. She has supervised many PhD, post graduates and graduates students
with teaching experience of more than 17 years in field of Geotechnical Engineering and
Earthquake engineering. Her fields of specialization and interest include: Modeling of
liquefaction and remedial measures, liquefaction behaviour of fine grained soil,
practical application of soft computing in engineering, Coupled soil- fluid interaction,
Coupled finite- Infinite Element solution of geotechnical problems. Prof. Sunita has
developed modeling procedures for determination of response to dynamic behaviour
of soil. She has also addressed a shortage of existing empirical, semi-empirical, and
simplified equations for the evaluation of geo-risks. In addition to the collaborative work
that motivated the development of these new modeling procedures in geotechnical
engineering, she is also involved in applied and collaborative work and research projects
that focus on numerical models. In addition, she also developed Finite element based
code for determination of seismic liquefaction potential of soil with infinite boundary.
