Computer Methods and Recent Advances in Geomechanics contains the proceedings (abstracts book 472 pages + full paper USB-drive 2052 pages) of the 14th International Conference of the International Association for Computer Methods and Advances in Geomechanics (Kyoto, Japan, 22-25 September, 2014). The contributions cover computer methods, material modeling and testing, applications to a wide range of geomechanical issues, and recent advances in various areas that may not necessarily involve computer methods, including: - Development and usage of new materials - Constitutive modeling of materials including deformation, damage and failure - Verification of existing and new constitutive models - Micro-macro correlations of material response including non-destructive testing - New techniques for material and site characterization - Computer-aided engineering and expert system - Innovative construction using new materials and computer methods - Design and rehabilitation of infrastructure - Use of system and optimization procedures, and - Remote sensing. Computer Methods and Recent Advances in Geomechanics will be of interest to researchers and engineers involved in geotechnical mechanics and geo-engineering.
