Mathematical modelling

Mathematical modelling using conventional methods of soil mechanics:

  • Assessment of supporting structures and casing
  • Assessment of deep and shallow foundations and the load-bearing capacity of industrial floors
  • Assessment of the stability of the rock mass and rock walls
  • Assessment of a deformation zone formed by carrying out underground workings
  • Assessment of the stability of slopes, cuttings and road embankments in terms of:

    • Determination of the degree of stability
    • Maximum development of deformations (Fig. 1)
    • Time over which pore water pressures change during filling and consolidation takes place (a time pattern)

We carry out the solution of these special tasks using the following programs:

PLAXIS 8.6 (Mathematical modelling using FEM)

MIDAS GTS NX (Mathematical modelling using FEM in 2D and 3D)

GEO 4 (developed by the company FINE)

The programs of own development of the STSV series for calculating slope stability, which are designed so that they calculate the degree of stability purely by means of momentous effects on a shear plane. They also enable an external device and anchoring to be added.

The programs of own development of SSS1 for the calculation of the stability of rock walls by means of the Roth method.
