• Fundamentals.- Elements of Continuum Mechanics.- Foundations of the Theory of Plasticity.- General Elastic-Plastic Theorems.- Constitutive Relations.- Perfect Plasticity.- Isotropic Hardening and Critical State Theory.- Multi-Surface and Bounding Surface Plasticity.- Non-Coaxial Plasticity.- Plasticity Without a Prior Yield Criterion.- Solution Techniques.- Rigorous Analysis of Elastic-Plastic Problems.- Slip Line Analysis.- Limit Analysis.- Shakedown Analysis.- Finite Element Analysis.

From the reviews: "This book presents plasticity theories of geomaterials ... and their applications to geotechnical analysis and design. The author analyses classical, modern and recent developments of constitutive relations for geomaterials and a number of analytical and computational techniques for solving geotechnical design problems. ... The book can serve as a valuable reference for researchers, teachers and students in soil mechanics, rock mechanics, geotechnics and civil engineering."
