1/19/2019

 
Picture
MEA, Inc. of St. Louis, MO is hosting a 2-day workshop on Numerical Modeling in Geotechnical Engineering. The workshop will be on January 25-26, 2019 from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm and will be taught by Dr. Siavash Zamiran, P.E.

This course is an introduction to modeling geotechnical problems using commercially available geotechnical programs with an emphasis on FLAC. 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 (including seismic loading) will be demonstrated using FLAC. The material is useful for students and professionals in different fields including civil, geotechnical, mining, petroleum, and geology engineering. Attendees will be awarded 5 PDH Credits for a single day registration, or a total of 10 PDH Credits for full enrollment.

TOPICS COVERED IN THE WORKSHOP INCLUDE:
  • Introduction to Computational Geotechnics
  • Commercial Geotechnical Programs
  • Theoretical Considerations
  • Numerical Modeling in FLAC

DEEPSOIL 6.0 Beta Release

2/13/2015

 
Picture
DEEPSOIL is a site response analysis program with graphical user-interface which could perform both 1D nonlinear and 1D equivalent linear analysis in the soil medium. The new version of DEEPSOIL has been released by University of Illinois Urbana Champain. According to the DEEPSOIL producers, this version is a complete rewrite of the computational code for all analyses. The interface has also received numerous usability enhancements and introduces a new analysis workflow. The version is a pre-released software and could be used for testing and evaluation purposes. 

The webpage of the software is available here.
