Overview
Description
Numerical modeling software for geotechnical analyses of soil, rock, groundwater, and ground support. The students will learn design of geotechnical excavations (e.g., slopes, tunnels, caverns, stopes, etc.) and constructs (dams, foundations, footings, walls, etc.) in soil, and intact rock (i.e., heavily jointed rock). Such analyses include design, factor of safety prediction, and back-analysis of failure.
