Engineers are able to solve a wide range of geotechnical engineering problems, especially inherently complex ones that resist traditional analysis. \u003ci\u003eApplied Soil Mechanics with ABAQUS(R) Applications\u003c\/i\u003e provides civil engineering students and practitioners with a simple, basic introduction to applying the finite element method to soil mechanics problems.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAccessible to someone with little background in soil mechanics and finite element analysis, \u003ci\u003eApplied Soil Mechanics with ABAQUS(R) Applications\u003c\/i\u003e explains the basic concepts of soil mechanics and then prepares the reader for solving geotechnical engineering problems using both traditional engineering solutions and the more versatile, finite element solutions.

The book is prepared with ABAQUS(R) software applications to enable a range of readers to experiment firsthand with the principles described in the book (the software application files are available under \"student resources\" at www.wiley.com\/college\/helwany). By presenting both the traditional solutions alongside the FEM solutions, \u003ci\u003eApplied Soil Mechanics with ABAQUS(R) Applications\u003c\/i\u003e is an ideal introduction to traditional soil mechanics and a guide to alternative solutions and emergent methods.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDr. Helwany also has an online course based on the book available at www.geomilwaukee.com.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sam Helwany\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0471791075\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780471791072\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wiley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.28h x 6.48w x 0.98d","brand":"Sam Helwany","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48013761839359,"sku":"9780471791072","price":179.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e52c9d4c-328b-40ce-ab40-00e698573ba3.jpg?v=1767744610","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/applied-soil-mechanics-with-abaqus-sam-helwany-9780471791072","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
