Features: This book (Chinese and English) is the first specialized monograph on damage mechanics published domestically and internationally. It is compiled and refined based on the research findings of the collaborative project between Tongji University and the National University of Singapore – "Damage Models of Soil and Their Applications in Soil Mechanics." The project was evaluated by an expert panel organized by the Shanghai Science and Technology Commission, deemed to be at an internationally leading theoretical level and possessing broad practical application prospects. The content of the book, based on damage theory and elastoplastic theory, applies the long-term research findings from the author's laboratory experiments to propose a series of damage models. It inherits and develops classical soil mechanics theories, integrating damage theory into various major fields of soil mechanics, including soil properties, stress, deformation, consolidation, earth pressure, slope stability, and shear zone formation. This book is suitable for teachers, graduate students, and researchers in civil and geotechnical engineering.
