INTERNATIONAL COURSE ON COMPUTATIONAL GEOTECHNICS Civil Engineering Department, Itenas 21-23 September 2010, Bandung, Indonesia Lecture | Finite Element Modelling in Geotechnical Engineering Prof. Paulus Rahardjo Pitenas atu, Graz University of Technology BEBE ERR EEE INTERNATIONAL SHORTCOURSE on FINITE ELEMENT METHOD (PLAXIS) THE USE OF FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS 5 IN GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING by Prof. Paulus P. Rahardjo, Ph.D : Steps of Finite Element Method Example : Footing Foundation 15-noded element Importantio consider: (1) Boundary must be far enough > avoid boundary effect (2) Certain Area should be refine for better accuracy Strain controlled: example direct shear test of triaxial test + Known/given : displacements at nodal points * calculate strains ¢ * build up the stiffness matrix D-matrix * Calculate stresses using stress-strain relation (constitutive law) o + Calculate: Forces at boundary F Stress controlled: example consolidation test + Known/given: acting Forces F + calculate stresses at integration points o + build up the stiffness matrix D-matrix calculate strains using stress-strain relation (constitutive law) + calculate: displacements at nodal points 8
