Dept. of Civil Engineering course

Numerical analyses of geotechnical engineering problems are becoming more and more commonplace in industrial practice. Complex problems dealing with elasto-plastic behaviour of soil under drained and undrained conditions require numerical analysis for implementing proper design. It is necessary to identify the appropriate soil constitutive model and the model parameters that should be used for analysis of different field problems. At the same time, it is necessary to understand the fundamentals behind the appropriate use of these soil constitutive models in numerical schemes for solving different field problems. This course introduces the different soil constitutive models and their use in numerical analysis.
