This course will be offered to the graduate students who would like to learn problems related to integrated monitoring and deterministic modeling of deformations of engineering and natural structures. The course will include summary of tree-strain analysis based on principles of continuum mechanics, principles of finite element method, review of monitoring and deterministic analysis of elected problems, tunneling, underground mining, open pit mining, earth and rock fill dams, concrete dams. The course will include use of FEM code GEO/SLOPE. This course will be a combination of lectures, seminars and use of FEM code in solving some problems related to the course topic. |
