Finite element methods (FEM) have long been integral to the analysis and design of geotechnical systems, particularly when addressing issues of soil–structure interaction and extreme deformation ...

Our research group is dedicated to advancing geotechnical engineering through the development of cutting-edge models and rigorous material testing, contributing to a deeper understanding of soil ...

The overall learning aims of this course are (1) to understand the fundamentals of the finite element method for geotechnical analysis and (2) to be competent in the use of a finite element code as ...

My research focuses on the development of optimisation-based tools for geotechnical analysis and design together with novel low-carbon construction techniques. Prof. Colin Smith Colin Smith graduated ...
