Teaching and examination content
The students are taught the necessary knowledge for the investigation of geotechnical constructions with the finite element method (FEM). They are able to independently solve technical problems according to scientific principles using the finite element method, choosing appropriate material models and element formulations. They are able to explain and justify the choice of calculation parameters and can critically question calculation results. The module forms a comprehensive basis for an in-depth examination of the FEM in geotechnical engineering in the context of a scientific career or a career in industry and provides incentives for students to acquire this in-depth knowledge.
