| Numerical Methods in Geotechnical Engineering 3 Day Training Course
Tuesday 28 June 2005 - Thursday 30 June 2005 : Manchester
A 3-day course aimed at practising geotechnical and civil engineers who wish to learn more about finite element analysis techniques applied to geotechnics. The course content will be relevant to current and potential users of finite element software and associated consultancy services.
For over ten years this course has been held in the Netherlands and around the world. During this time it has developed an excellent reputation and has always been well attended by participants from consulting and contracting companies of all sizes, public work bodies and universities. Following the success of previous UK courses, the course will again be held here in 2005. As usual, the course will consist of a balanced mixture of lectures and hands-on computer analyses. Both lectures and exercises will concentrate on advanced geotechnical engineering.
The hands-on exercises will be performed using a finite element program to reinforce the concepts described in the lectures and to illustrate the potential pitfalls to avoid. For this purpose the Plaxis finite element program for soil and rock mechanics is well suited because of its easy program operation. This will allow more time for teaching and tutoring on the geotechnical aspects of numerical analysis rather than concentrating on the operation of the finite element program itself. The course aims to highlight the application of FEM in geotechnical practice and to illustrate through practical worked examples the benefits and limitations of this method.
The course will also introduce the 3D Foundation program through a lecture and a workshop. These will provide background and practical hands-on experience of full 3D modelling and analysis of foundation related problems.
