Element test simulations

Example of using numgeo for the back-calculation of the laboratory tests with different advanced constitutive models. How the individual tests are exactly simulated is described in detail in the following sections.

• Oedometric compression test
• Drained monotonic triaxial test
• Undrained monotonic triaxial test

• Undrained cyclic triaxial test

• Drained cyclic triaxial test using the HCA model

• Undrained cyclic triaxial test using the HCA model

Rigid strip foundation

Example of using numgeo for a simple rigid foundation, including the mesh generation with the software Salome and application of the high-cycle accumulation model.

• Mesh generation with salome
• Rigid foundation on linear elastic dry soil
• Rigid foundation on linear elastic saturated soil
• High-cyclic loading of rigid foundation on saturated soil

Flow of water in soil

• Muskat Problem
• Transient seepage through dam

Slope stability simulations

Example of using numgeo for the assessment of the stability of a homogeneous slope described with the Mohr-Coulomb material model.

• Stability of a dry, homogeneous slope

1D site response

• Problem statement and finite element model

User defined extensions

For many simulations the functions implemented in numgeo are sufficient. However, for more complex problems it may be necessary to extend the existing functionality. For this purpose, numgeo offers the possibility to connect own developments to predefined interfaces and to extend the functionality of numgeo. The following examples are provided:

• User defined amplitude
• User defined initial state
• User defined material model

Vibratory pile driving

Example of using numgeo for the analysis of vibratory pile driving.

• Vibratory pile driving

Offshore

Example of using numgeo for offshore applications.

• Monopile under high-cyclic loading
• Mono-Caisson under high-cyclic loading
