This instructor-led course will provide you with the fundamentals skills for conducting stability investigations or assessing groundwater flow. Attendees can attend for 2 days or for the full 3 days, as outlined below, with lunch, coffee and snack provided throughout.
What will the 2-day course include? [$1200 USD]Â
- Fundamental limit equilibrium and groundwater flow theory
- Methods of analysis and geometry creation in GeoStudio
- Methods for setting up strength and hydraulic material properties
- Review of the available hydraulic boundary conditions
- Defining your finite element mesh
- Example analysis workflow
- Integration of finite element pore-water pressures in limit equilibrium stability analyses
What will the 3-day course cover? [$1800 USD]
- The previously listed course materials from the 2-day course
- Fundamental stress and deformation theory
- Staged construction and consolidation analyses
- Integration of finite element stresses in limit equilibrium stability analysis
What should I have?Â
- Please have your own laptop with the latest version of GeoStudio, as well as a mouse and charger
- Prior to your course, you will be contacted via email with instructions for accessing a GeoStudio subscription for the duration of your training, along with resources to download
