Physical Soil Mechanics

The book explores the intrinsic properties of soil, emphasizing its behavior under various deformations and stresses. It delves into the mathematical modeling of soil using concepts like cyclic and strange attractors, validating elastoplastic and hypoplastic relations through comparative analysis. Additionally, it addresses the effects of thermal and seismic activities on soil, while also discussing the challenges posed by localization and the decay of soil structure. This comprehensive approach provides insights into the complex nature of soil mechanics.
