Format: Paperback / softback Length: 492 pages Publication date: 31 March 2021 Publisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd Modeling and computing are becoming increasingly crucial in the analysis and design of engineered systems, including geotechnical systems like soil foundations, earth dams, and other soil-structure systems. The overarching objective of modeling and computing is to predict and comprehend the behavior of these systems under a range of potential conditions or scenarios, which serves as the foundation for rational system design. At its core, modeling and computing revolve around anticipating the response of the system to external forces.The modeling and computing process encompasses three key phases:Idealization: This phase involves representing the actual physical problem in a simplified manner, often by abstracting away certain details or assumptions.Mathematical Modeling: A mathematical model is formulated, typically using a set of equations that govern the response of the system. These equations capture the essential relationships and interactions between the system's components.Solution: The governing equations are solved using numerical methods, such as finite element analysis or differential equations. This involves computational techniques to compute the system's behavior and obtain numerical results.Graphical Representation: The numerical results are visualized using graphical techniques, such as plots, charts, and diagrams, to facilitate understanding and interpretation of the system's behavior.This book aims to provide a comprehensive introduction to these phases, with MATLAB® codes and MAPLE® worksheets available for individuals who have purchased the book. To access these resources, please contact the author at [email protected] or [email protected]. Kindly provide the invoice number and date of purchase.By leveraging modeling and computing, engineers and scientists can gain a deeper understanding of the behavior of geotechnical systems, enabling them to make informed design decisions and optimize their performance. This field continues to evolve, with advancements in technology and computational methods leading to more accurate and efficient modeling and simulation capabilities. As such, it plays a vital rolerole in advancing the field of geotechnical engineering and contributing to the development of sustainable infrastructure.
