"ABSTRAKFor dynamic excitation, it is convenient to idealize homogeneous soil under a base mat by a semi-infinite truncated cone. It is easy to analyze the cone model for vertical and horizontal translation, as well as for rocking and torsional rotation. The accuracy by comparison to rigorous half-space solutions is quite adequate for practical applications. Time-domain computational methods for translational and rotational motions are described in both the stiffness and flexibility formulations and elucidated by examples. The infinite cone is dynamically equivalent to a discrete element representation of the soil, consisting of an interconnection of a small number of masses, springs, and dashpots. As an alternative to the physical-component model, the response may be determined directly by simple recursive numerical procedures. The recursive methods are exact and particularly well suited for hand calculations of short-duration excitations."

"This book provides a snapshot of the research activities of the Institute of Geotechnical Engineering, University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences in Vienna, Austria. The topics are broad ranged including; Centrifuge model testing, Constitutive model, Granular physics, Numerical simulation, and Soil bioengineering.The topics reflect our geotechnical research in a changing world. Traditional topics in foundation engineering are fading out and new topics are emerging. The European Commission is gratefully acknowledged for funding the following projects within its program FP7 and Horizon2020: MUMOLADE (Multiscale modelling of landslide and debris flow), REVENUES (Reinforced Vegetation Numerical Evaluation of Slopes) and GEORAMP (Geohazards - Risk Assessment, Mitigation and Prevention)."

"The book comprises selected proceedings of the 2016 annual conference of the Indian Geotechnical Society. The technical papers presented on the theme “Geotechnical Characterisation and Geoenvironmental Engineering” highlight the modified geotechnical properties of soil admixed industrial waste and also the characteristics of soil with different pore fluid under varying test conditions. The major topics covered are (i) characterisation of soils, rocks and synthesised materials and (ii) geoenvironmental engineering and behaviour of unsaturated soil. This book will prove a valuable reference for researchers and practicing engineers alike."

"This book presents articles covering a wide spectrum of topics in geotechnical engineering, including properties of soils, unsaturated soil mechanics, ground improvement, liquefaction and seismic studies, soil-structure interaction and stability analysis of man-made and natural slopes.The contributing authors are renowned researchers in their respective fields, which include soft ground improvement, seismic response of retaining structure using soil-structure Interaction (SSI) principles, and unsaturated soils. Based on keynote addresses and invited talks presented at the Indian Geotechnical Conference 2016, this book will prove a valuable resource for practicing engineers and researchers in the field of geotechnical engineering."
