Syllabus

The course aims to provide the theoretical framework and backgrounds of advanced geomechanics consisting of basic theories of stress-strain-strength relations of geomaterial, formulation of the rate constitutive models, numerical analyses and computational techniques. Basic to advanced Engineering examples will be introduced throughout the study to create logics of application in International Development Engineering practice.

1. Mathematical foundation
2. Elasticity and Plasticity
3. Yield and hardening functions
4. Failure criteria
5. Strength anisotropy
6. Constitutive laws
7. Stiffness moduli
8. Parameter determinations
9. Numerical analyses
10. Application in engineering practice

Apart from mid-term and final examinations, students are evaluated regularly through a series of homework assignments which expected students to show their abilities to interpret mathematical notations appeared in the theory into numerical procedures and application.

Teaching materials are distributed.
