Analytic methods in geomechanics / Аналитические методы в геомеханике

Geomechanics deals with the deformation and failure process in geomaterials, which is literally defined as materials found on the surface of the Earth. Soil, rock, snow, and ice are typical geomaterials. Although in a broader sense in engineering mechanics geomaterials also include concrete, it will not be included explicitly in the discussion in this book. Ice and snow will not be covered either. <...>
