Abstract: The state-of-art of soil mechanics is briefly discussed; and it is shown that the soil mechanics is still built on the semi-theoretical and semi-empirical foundation. Then some problems with numerical method applications to geotechnical engineering are presented; and how to apply numerical methods to practice is discussed; finally, some measures to deal with the problems are given. From above discussions, some conclusions can be drawn as follows: that soil mechanics is in the infancy of state, and with the development of it and the accumulation of experience on applying soil mechanics and numerical method to practice; numerical methods in geotechnique will be applied to practice more and more; and it will become a powerful tool to deal with geotechnical problems.

Key words: soil mechanics, numerical methods in geotechnique, engineering applications
