SYNOPSIS
The advances in computer hardware and software have resulted in the application of advanced finite element analysis to geotechnical problems, like deep excavations in the routine design. The finite element analysis can satisfy all the theoretical requirements (e.g. stability, equilibrium, and constitutive relations) and allows the complete history of the boundary value problem to be computed and provide information on all design requirements.
The application of finite element modelling has resulted in considerable advances in the analysis and design of retaining structures, especially in the prediction of the performance of serviceability conditions and the mechanisms of soil-structure interaction.
The objective of this presentation is to gain insight into the mechanisms of soil-structure interaction in deep excavations through 2D and 3D finite element analyses and calibration with field data from well-documented case histories. The influence of several important aspects in deep excavations is presented and discussed through detailed analyses of case histories.
PROFILE OF SPEAKER Dr K.H. Law has 18 years of geotechnical experience since graduation, and his experience includes work with specialist geotechnical and foundation contractors, and in academic research. Currently, he is the principal of KH Geotechnical Services. In his 18 years' professional experience he has involved in the assessment and design of various aspects of geotechnical works. His experience mainly includes collaborating with the specialist foundation and geotechnical contractors in the use of 2D and 3D numerical modelling in practical soil-structure interaction problems such as the design of deep excavations, piled foundations, tunnel-pile interaction problem and effect of deep excavation on piled foundations. He is a registered professional engineer with Board of Engineer Malaysia and member of Institute of Engineers Malaysia since 2004.
