Analytical and Numerical Solutions to Selected Research Problems in Geomechanics and Geohydraulics

Abstract

Geomechanical and geohydraulic engineering is a promising study area with several emerging research concerns. Most of such problems requires advanced level of mathematics to arrive at specific solutions. A wide range of approaches includes several analytical and numerical techniques for better understanding of such problems. In this paper, a few selected research problems are identified, and their solution techniques are demonstrated. The specific areas relevant to such problems are soil-structure interaction, ground improvement and groundwater hydraulics. This paper presents the problem identification, their mathematical solutions and results as well as pertinent analyses and useful interpretations to practice.
