However, this approach is not extensively used in geotechnical engineering, partly because 3-D media (soil, rock) are present, but more importantly because until recently the methods necessary to carry out this form of analysis did not UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0668/2004040363-d.html ER -
