This month in the dates of 22nd and 23rd, a geotechnical workshop was presented by Siavash Zamiran, PhD Candidate and instructor in School of Engineering titled "Introduction to Computational Geotechnics". The workshop was held based on Civil Engineering Department in SIUE and Geo-Institute SIUE chapter. 
This workshop was an introduction to modeling geotechnical problems using commercially available geotechnical programs. Several geotechnical programs and numerical methods were discussed and compared with each other. Principals of numerical modeling and the modeling procedure of different problems were demonstrated. The workshop was free of charge and 10 PDH credits were assigned to participants for their 10 hours enrollment. Students and professionals from SIUE, AECOM Technology Corporation, and Leidos Engineering Inc. participated in this workshop.
The materials covered in the workshop are now available free and online through this link.

Chapter presents a geotechnical workshop titled “Introduction to Computational Geotechnics” in School of Engineering, SIUE on January 22 and 23, 2016. The workshop is free and 10 PDH credits and a certificate of attendance will be awarded to participants. 
This workshop is an introduction to modeling geotechnical problems using commercially available geotechnical software. Different geotechnical programs and numerical methods will be discussed and compared with each other. Principals of numerical modeling will be described. The modeling procedure for several practical geotechnical examples will be demonstrated using FLAC, GeoStudio software package, and PLAXIS. The workshop is very useful for students and professionals in the field of civil, geotechnical, and mining engineering.
The instructor will be Siavash Zamiran, a PhD Candidate in SIUC and instructor in SIUE who is president of Geo-Institute SIUE and also staff engineer in Marino Engineering Associates, Inc. based on St. Louis, MO.
