Summary on Grant Application Form |

Improving the feasibility of 3D finite element analysis is a vital issue in soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering. Currently, analysts and des are prevented from modelling with the desired level of accuracy in 3D because of the considerable computing resources that these analyses regi Parametric studies are often undertaken in geotechnical engineering due to uncertainties in the values of material properties. In 3D, however, sup studies are infeasible, due to the time they take and the computing resources required. This project will carry out a number of 3D parametric stuc an important set of problmes in geotechnics that are under-researched because of these difficulties. Using the H PC resources we will be able to out detailed parametric studies that could not be completed on serial machines. By doing this we hope to advertise the utility of the HPC resourc( this purpose as well as add to the knowledge of this particular set of geotechnical problems.
