University of Architecture, Civil Engineering and Geodesy (UACEG)

This subject acquaints students with the opportunities and application specificities of some numerical methods in geotechnical design: finite element method (FEM), finite difference method (FDM), boundary element method (BEM), and others. The following topics are covered: The essence and application of classical and contemporary constitutive models in Geomechanics; Numerical models for investigation of the bearing capacity and stability of earth bed; Opportunities for modeling of stress and strain state of earthen structures in building and operational periods; Soil consolidation models; Numerical models of the system “superstructure – foundation structure – earth bed” in case of static and dynamic loading; Simulation of the interface between supporting structures and soil massif; Инженерна скална механика.
