Infos

This book is related to a parametric study of the soil-structural interface shearing behavior based on the numerical simulations of interface shear test with DEM, which is conducted from the role of soil properties, particle properties and structural properties.

To aid readers in easily understanding the generation, implementation of models and controlling modes, for each part, the relevant code is provided in the text, and the whole source code of model is given in Appendix to share with readers for practice. The book is intended for graduate-level teaching and research in soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering, as well as in other related engineering specialties. This book is also of use to industry practitioners due to the inclusion of real-world applications, opening the door to advanced courses on modeling within the industrial engineering and operations research fields.

 

Wan-Huan ZHOU is currently Head and Associate Professor of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Interim Director of Centre for Regional Ocean at the University of Macau. She received her B.Eng. degree in 2002 and M.Sc. degree in 2005 from Zhejiang University in China and Ph.D. in Geotechnical Engineering from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University in 2008. After graduation, she worked as a lecturer at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University and later joined the University of Macau in September 2009. She has acted as Principal Investigator on 11 research projects, including grants from the National Natural Science Foundation (NSFC) and the Macao Science and Technology Development Fund (FDCT). She has published more than 40 SCI articles as the first or correspondent author in geotechnical journals, such as Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, ASCE and Canadian Geotechnical Journal. She won the 2011 best paper award of the International Association.

Zhen-Yu YIN is Associate Professor of Geotechnical Engineering at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University since 2018. He received his B.Eng. in Civil Engineering from Zhejiang University in 1997, followed by five years engineering consultancy at the Zhejiang Jiahua Architecture Design Institute. Then, he obtained his M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Geotechnical Engineering at Ecole Centrale de Nantes (France) in 2003 and 2006. respectively. Then. he has been working as a postdoctoral researcher at Helsinki University of Technology (Finland), University of Strathclyde (Glasgow, UK), Ecole Centrale de Nantes and University of Massachusetts (Umass-Amherst, USA). In 2010, he joined Shanghai Jiao Tong University as Special Researcher and received 'Professor of Exceptional Rank of Shanghai Dong-Fang Scholar'. In 2013, he joined Ecole Centrale de Nantes as Associate Professor before moving to Hong Kong. He has published over 190 articles in peer-reviewed international journals with an H index of 48 according to Web of Science. He is Associate Committee Member of Granular Materials Committee of American Society of Civil Engineers; Associate Editor of 'European Journal of Environmental and Civil Engineering'; and Editorial Board Members of some top journals in the field of soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering (Canadian Geotechnical Journal, International Journal of Geomechanics ASCE, Geotechnique Letters, Soils and Foundations, Acta Geotechnica, Transportation Geotechnics, Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, etc.).
