Course Content
- geotechnical material models (elastic, ideal plastic, non-linear elasticity, distinction between loading and unloading, but also higher quality material models like Cam Clay, Hardening Soil and from the hypoplastic material law family)
- Soil behaviour in so-called element tests (numerical mapping of standard laboratory tests such as oedometric compression and triaxial shear)
- FE-programming of element tests and geotechnical standard problems (hydraulic calculations, settlement of flat foundations, modelling of embankments and supporting structures incl. excavation, mapping of the load-bearing behaviour of anchors and piles as well as tunnel driving)
Study Documents
All study documents can be found on MOODLE.
Exam
The module examination takes place within the framework of a project work, which is carried out in the form of a group work (2-3 students).
Registration for the examination must be made in time at tumonline. The examination office is responsible for the registration for the exam.
