Why soil mechanics matters in FE – geotechnical analysis of a deep excavation

Download to your calendar using vCal

If you have a question about this talk, please contact Zelda Stuck .

Finite element modelling is currently used fairly routinely in geotechnical design, often based on relatively simple soil mechanics learnt at undergraduate level, or just beyond. The talk will recount a situation in which basic concepts interacted in an unexpected way, leading to misconceptions about commercially available FE programs. A key aspect, routinely overlooked, proved to be the dilational behaviour of the ground, and of the FE programs.
