Linear mathematical assumptions for procedures in other branches of engineering have little relevance for geoengineering, which must accommodate non-linear behaviors. Contributors to eight papers apply the breakthrough numerical modeling Distinct Element Method (Cundall, late 1960s).
Preface, The Contributors, 1.? The Excavation Damage Zone — An International Perspective 2.? Improved Design in Rock and Soil Engineering with Numerical Modelling 3.? Micromechanical Modelling of Granular Media: The Power of Discrete Element Modelling 4.? Discrete Element Analysis of Dam Foundations 5.? Earthquake Analysis of Concrete Gravity Dams on Jointed Rock Foundations 6.? Considerations for Three-dimensional Modelling in Analysis of Underground Excavations 7.? Predicting Performance of the 62 m Span Ice Hockey Cavern in Gjøvik, Norway 8.? Numerical Modelling of Underground Power Houses in India
