There are three main types of problems in geotechnical engineering: failure load problems, deformation problems, and flow problems. Each problem can be solved by performing experimental modeling, by doing theoretical modeling, or by using experience. One very important first step in solving a geotechnical engineering problem is to always start by making a drawing to scale of the problem. Two main types of laws are used to solve problems: fundamental laws and constitutive laws. Numerical solutions typically require the use of a computer because of the complexity and amount of the mathematical computations involved. Considering the fact that uncertainty exists in every step taken in arriving at a solution, it makes sense to calculate the uncertainty associated with the solution or predicted value. This is called the probabilistic approach. The chapter also deals with similitude laws or scaling laws as they are used in scaled models and centrifuge tests.
