CE 538 - Finite Element Applications in Geotechnical Engineering

3 Credit Hours

Application of finite element method to typical problems in geotechnical engineering. Confined and unconfined flow through porous media; two-dimensional stress and strain; two-dimensional elements; representation of nonlinear soil behavior with elastic and elastic-plastic models. Taught concurrently with 561.
Credit Restriction: Students may not receive credit for both 538 and 561.
Recommended Background: Course work in soil behavior and matrix computation.
