Numerical Modelling
Project Introduction
Scott Wilson has extensive experience in modelling complex
geotechnical problems using advanced numerical methods.
Project Background
Complex geotechnical problems often require unique, ‘bespoke’
solutions. These include:
- Sensitive structures
- Heavy loading
- Highly compressible soils
- Low shear strength
- Multi-layered soil profiles
- Non-linearity
- Time-dependency
- Anisotropic conditions
- Non-hydrostatic pore pressure
- Influence on adjacent structures
These and many other problems may require Numerical Modelling to
establish the most appropriate design solutions in terms of cost,
time and safety.
Typical geotechnical problems that can require Numerical
Modelling include:
- Shallow and deep foundations
- Embankments and cuttings
- Laterally loaded piles
- Retaining structures
- Deep excavations
- Dams
- Tunnels
- Soil improvements
