Covers the thermo-mechanical behavior of geomaterials and its applications in engineering, emphasizing the impact of temperature on geomechanical properties and modeling.
Explores fracture mechanics, crack growth, and the weakest link theory, emphasizing the statistical distribution of crack sizes and the significance of the largest crack in material failure.
Covers slope stability analysis methods, including Bishop, Janbu, and Morgenstern-Price methods, and introduces the finite element method for analyzing soil structures.
