This August, the University of Southern California will present a week-long course entitled Computational Geotechnics: Applications of Plaxis and SAP2000 to Geotechnical and SSI Problems. This course will provide engineers with practical applications of finite element methods (FEM) and other numerical techniques for geotechnical engineering including seismic soil-structure interaction (SSI). The course is meant for professionals from consulting firms, contractors, public agencies and universities who are interested in applying advanced numerical tools to practical geotechnical engineering. Experts will give presentations on engineering applications including excavations, retaining structures, tunnels, foundations, bridge abutment and embankments for both static loading and earthquake loading conditions. Finite element methods and other numerical tools will be discussed. The course consists of a balanced mixture of presentations on backgrounds
and practical applications, as well as hands-on computer analyses using
SAP2000 and Plaxis. |
