LimitState:GEO Technical Notes
|
The following documents provide in-depth guidance on general modelling concepts encountered when using LimitState:GEO. For guidance on how to use LimitState:GEO when modelling specific problem types, see the LimitState:GEO Application Notes. |
LS-G-TN1 - Principles of Slope Stability AnalysisIn contrast to conventional slope stability analyses, the general purpose limit analysis procedure used by LimitState:GEO does not require the form of the collapse mechanism to be pre-specified. However, the use of a general purpose procedure does mean that an particular approach must be adopted to identify the critical failure mechanism. |
LS-G-TN3 - Use of the 'Cutoff' MaterialThe ’Cutoff’ model in LimitState:GEO has many uses in modelling geotechnical problems. This note introduces
|
LS-G-TN4 - Modelling Structural Resistance in LimitState:GEOLimitState:GEO is able to accurately model bending, shear, tensile and compressive resistances at specific locations in structural elements such as footings, walls or props without having to fully model the whole element. This technical note explains the underlying principles of this process using simple structural elements as examples. |
