Brief Description
|
The Advanced Course in Slope, Seepage and Foundation Analysis will expand your knowledge of analytical methods as a civil engineer or engineering geology practitioner and equip you with practical techniques incorporated in modern commercial software packages specifically used in the geotechnical stability analysis of slopes and walls, as well as seepage and consolidation analysis.
The course goes beyond the introduction of the initial finite element method and provides you with a more in-depth overview of elasticity, upper and lower bound plasticity methods, limit equilibrium methods (with a strong focus on slope stability) and finite difference solutions for seepage and consolidation analysis...
