Computational geomechanics and hydraulic structures Sheng-Hong Chen

By: Series: Springer Tracts in Civil Engineering, 2366-259XPublication details: Singapore : Springer, c2019.Description: xxix, 890 p. : ill. ; 24 cmISBN:

Subject(s): DDC classification:
  • 624.15 CH CO
Online resources: Summary: This book presents recent research into developing and applying computational tools to estimate the performance and safety of hydraulic structures from the planning and construction stage to the service period. Based on the results of a close collaboration between the author and his colleagues, friends, students and field engineers, it shows how to achieve a good correlation between numerical computation and the actual in situ behavior of hydraulic structures. The book’s heuristic and visualized style disseminates the philosophy and road map as well as the findings of the research. The chapters reflect the various aspects of the three typical and practical methods (the finite element method, the block element method, the composite element method) that the author has been working on and made essential contributions to since the 1980s. This book is an advanced continuation of Hydraulic Structures by the same author, published by Springer in 2015.
