    This course provides an introduction to computational geomechanics and numerical modeling of geotechnical engineering problems. Students will learn about continuum constitutive models for soil behavior including plasticity theory and specific models. They will also be introduced to discrete modeling approaches. The course aims to teach students how to select appropriate models for different soil types and problems, implement integration algorithms, and use finite element and discrete element methods to simulate problems like consolidation, bearing capacity, and slope stability numerically.

    Computational Geomechanics

    Course description This course provides ways to understand and describe mechanical
    behaviour of geomaterials from a computational modelling point of view. Plasticity
    theory and models as well as their integration algorithms will be presented for
    geomaterial constitutive behaviour. Discrete modelling will also be introduced as
    a complimentary approach to continuum theory. It will show how geotechnical
    engineering problems, such as consolidation, bearing capacity and slope stability,
    are modelled and solved using numerical approaches.
    Intended learning outcomes
    The achievement of the learning objectives in this course will be measured through the
    students’ ability to
    • distinguish between different types of constitutive models and identify the appro-
    priate model according to the soil types and loading conditions
    • select the correct integration algorithm for a specific constitutive model
    • understand basic concepts and models for discrete modelling
    • understand numerical procedures and interpret the results in a geotechnical engi-
    neering context
    • conduct computer simulations to solve geotechnical engineering problems using fi-
    nite and discrete element methods
