英文课程简介

The aim of this course is to introduce the theory and application of the finite element method (FEM) in geotechnical engineering. The fundamental and critical elements of FEM, including theoretical basis, constitutive modelling, boundary condition, dynamic calculation, are introduced. Applications of FEM to geotechnical engineering are discussed. Well-documented case studies, including slope stability, tunnels, embankment dams, retaining walls, are illustrated. This course can nurture students’ ability on the application of FEM in geotechnical engineering and strengthen students’ understanding on the static and dynamic behaviour of geotechnical structures.
