WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES
The main subject of the workshop is the use of the numerical modeling in different geotechnical engineering topics. The computer exercises are performed with the FLAC code which is a prominent program for several geotechnical and mining purposes. During this workshop the following topics are going to be considered:

•  Introduction to numerical modeling, finite difference method and the basic functionality of FLAC 
  
•  Finite difference modeling and basic topics of computational geotechnical engineering including geometry modeling, constitutive models, boundary conditions, solving and monitoring process
  
• Numerical modeling of shallow and deep foundations
  
•  Numerical modeling of excavation and slope stability problems
  
• Seismic considerations in numerical modeling
