Description

In this edited book various novel approaches to problems of modern civil engineering are demonstrated. Experts associated within the Lagrange Laboratory present recent research results in civil engineering dealing both with modelling and computational aspects. Many modern topics are covered, such as monumental dams, soil mechanics and geotechnics, granular media, contact and friction problems, damage and fracture, new structural materials, and vibration damping � presenting the state of the art of mechanical modelling and computational issues in civil engineering.Typham this is the title: Mechanical Modelling and Computational Issues in Civil Engineering 1st Edition
