Advanced Course on Computational Geotechnics
- Title: Advanced Course on Computational Geotechnics

- Organisers: Plaxis bv & Geogrup Insaat
The well established course in Advanced Computational Geotechnics is organized as a continuation of the Standard course on Computational Geotechnics. However, prior participation in a Standard course is not required for participating in the Advanced course though participants are assumed to be familiar with the Plaxis software.
One of the aims of this course is to teach the application of advanced soil models. Whereas the basic course concentrates on the Mohr-Coulomb model, attention is now fully focused on the Hardening Soil model and the very new extension to include the small-strain stiffness. Another aim of the course is to teach the numerical analysis of geotechnical problems, such as excavations, soil improvements, embankments and foundations. On solving practical problems the Plaxis computer programs will be applied.
For 2D problems PLAXIS 2D 2011 will be used, which includes the extension to small strains and a feature to simulate standard laboratory tests as well as groundwater flow.
For 3D problems the new PLAXIS 3D 2011 program will be applied, which includes consolidation and new options to generate complex geometries.
