Advanced Course on Computational Geotechnics

Mar 15
  • Title: Advanced Course on Computational Geotechnics
  • Date: March 15, 2010
  • Till: March 18, 2010
  • Location: Schiphol, The Netherlands
  • Leader: Prof. P.A. Vermeer
  • Organisers: Plaxis bv
  • price: € 1.375,00

The well established advanced course for experienced Plaxis users is organized every year as a continuation of the basic course on Computational Geotechnics. 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 version 9.0 will be used, which includes the extension to small strains and a feature to simulate standard laboratory tests. For groundwater flow the program PlaxFlow version 1.6 will be used. For 3D problems the newest version 2.2 of the 3D Foundations program will be applied, which includes consolidation and new options to generate complex geometries.
