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.
