APPLIED
SOIL MECHANICS WITH ABAQUS APPLICATIONS BOOK BY 
SAM HELWANY – PDF FREE DOWNLOAD

Applied Soil
Mechanics with Abaqus Applications written by Sam Helwany is published by John
Wiley and Sons.

            
The purpose of this book is to provide civil engineering students and
practitioners with simple basic knowledge on how to apply the finite element
method to soil mechanics problems. This is essentially a soil mechanics book
that includes traditional soil mechanics topics and applications. The book
differs from traditional soil mechanics books in that it provides a simple and
more flexible alternative using the finite element method to solve traditional
soil mechanics problems that have closed-form solutions. The book also shows
how to apply the finite element method to solve more complex geotechnical
engineering problems of practical nature that do not have closed-form solutions.

             
In short, the book is written mainly for undergraduate students, to
encourage them to solve geotechnical engineering problems using both
traditional engineering solutions and the more versatile finite element
solutions. This approach not only teaches the concepts but also provides means
to gain more insight into geotechnical engineering applications that reinforce
the concepts in a very profound manner. The concepts are presented in a basic
form so that the book can serve as a valuable learning aid for students with no
background in soil mechanics. The main prerequisite would be strength of
materials (or equivalent), which is a prerequisite for soil mechanics in most
universities.

              
General soil mechanics principles are presented for each topic, followed
by traditional applications of these principles with longhand solutions, which
are followed in turn by finite element solutions for the same applications, and
then both solutions are compared. Further, more complex applications are
presented and solved using the finite element method.

              
Over 60 solved examples appear throughout the book. Most are solved
longhand to illustrate the concepts and then solved using the finite element
method embodied in a computer program: ABAQUS. All finite element examples are
solved using ABAQUS. This computer program is used worldwide by educators and
engineers to solve various types of civil engineering and engineering mechanics
problems. One of the major advantages of using this program is that it is
capable of solving most geotechnical engineering problems.
