Introduction<\/h3>\n

The Finite element method (FEM) is a powerful numerical tool for solving complex engineering problems in several fields, such as deep basement construction in urban areas.<\/p>\n

Nowadays, personal computers are equipped with high computing power. Therefore, the FEM is now available in commercial software and became an indispensable software tool to assist the design of basement construction in urban and complex ground conditions.<\/p>\n

One of the most popular commercial FEM software for basement excavation modelling is the PLAXIS FE package ( 2D & 3D).<\/p>\n

This online course will focus on the usage of PLAXIS 2D software in the modelling and analysis of typical basement excavation problems. Throughout the course, the students will have the opportunity to practice their newly acquired knowledge with hands-on exercises. A temporary PLAXIS 2D license will also be provided to all course participants for the entire event duration so that they can properly run the proposed hands-on exercises.<\/p>\n

Objectives<\/h3>\n

At the end of this course, it is expected the attendees to understand:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • The principles of FEM.<\/li>\n
  • The PLAXIS 2D modelling workflow.<\/li>\n
  • How to efficiently set up a basement excavation\u2019s geometry and respective finite element mesh in PLAXIS 2D.<\/li>\n
  • The Initial stresses and basement de-watering strategies in PLAXIS 2D.<\/li>\n
  • The Undrained behaviour modelling and the main limitations of each PLAXIS 2D\u2019s undrained type options.<\/li>\n
  • The basic theory of the most common soil constitutive models used in basement excavation modelling and how to derive the respective soil parameters.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
