Short Course on
Soil-Structure Interaction: Computer Applications and
Material Models
To be conducted at Ahmedabad during 21– 24 Jan, 2014
Course
Objectives
The aim of the course is to provide the
participants an understanding of effectively simulating the soil- structure
interaction problems using computer
applications and realistic material models. At the
end of the course, the participants are expected to have fair understanding of:
• Basics of Finite Difference and Finite Element Analysis
• Realistic material models for structural
materials, soils and interfaces/joints
• Modeling of engineering systems and Soil- Structure
Interaction (SSI) using computer methods
for a number of practical problems in geotechnical
engineering.
Participants
The course is designed for
• Civil Engineers engaged in design and
construction of structures.
• Senior professionals responsible for directing
these activities.
• Students, Teachers and Researchers
Course
Contents
• Introduction to computer methods: Finite Element
Method and Finite Difference Method.
• Constitutive models relevant to structural
elements, geologic materials, interfaces and joints.
• Determination of material parameters and idealization
of loading and boundary conditions.
• One-, two- and three-dimensional idealizations of
structures such as axially and laterally loaded piles, group piles, footings,
dams and embankments, slopes, retaining walls including reinforced systems,
tunnels and caverns, pavements.
• Flow Through Porous Media: Seepage and consolidation.
• Dynamic analysis including liquefaction.
• Computer codes and practice sessions
