Limit Analysis and Soil Plasticity

Description

Devoted to the theory and applications of limit analysis as applied to soil mechanics, this text also contains information on soil plasticity and rock-like material such as concrete. The first part of the book describes the techniques of limit analysis in detail and are illustrated by many examples. The second part deals with the applications of limit analysis to “classical soil mechanics problems” and in the third part the author presents advances on bearing capacity problems of concrete blocks or rock. The fourth part discusses the modern development of the theory of soil plasticity.
