Abstract

ISSMGE TC 103 on Numerical Methods in Geomechanics is pleased to publish the Case Histories on applications of numerical analysis to the design, study, or back analysis of case histories. This special issue presents well documented case histories combining numerical analysis before or during the construction of a project with monitoring and performance data.

TC103 aims to provide a forum for all interested members of ISSMGE to explore the use of computational tools and development of advanced numerical methods to solve problems relevant to soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering. In addition, TC103 will facilitate the exchange of ideas and advances in computational geomechanics among academics and practitioners. The presented case histories focus on applications of numerical techniques rather than novelty of the method of analysis. We expect that they can be useful for practitioners from industry and academics as examples of good practices with numerical methods in geomechanics.
