Finite Element Geotechnical Engineering - Introduction

Introduction to Finite Element Method in Geotechnical Engineering | Training Course

This two-day training course aims to provide attendees with a comprehensive introduction on the finite element method (FE) as applied to geotechnics for prediction of deformation and stability of soil structures.

Through a combination of lectures, Q&A and discussion interspersed with live demonstrations using PLAXIS, it covers the background required to appreciate the responsible application of numerical modelling in engineering practice.  Course topics include:

Bentley Training Partner

  • Introduction to the FE method as applied to geotechnics
  • Constitutive laws – Background on material modelling
  • Nonlinear analysis and solution methods
  • Drained and undrained modelling
  • Practical examples on the use of FE for geotechnics

The course will also be a great opportunity to network with fellow PLAXIS users and geotechnical engineers

Lead Tutor

Tutor: Technical Director at CECL Global - over 30 years experience in the numerical modelling of soils & effective use of PLAXIS.

This course is presented by Dr Andrew Mar B.Eng. (Hons.) Ph.D. C.Eng. MICE FGS.
