2. Modeling strategy

Numerical modeling of a geotechnical structure involves a number of stages, which are summarized below. It involves a series of choices and simplifications, which must be justified in the context of the study, and which constitute a modeling strategy.

Some of the elements of this strategy reflect a compromise between different aspects of the problem:

  • the type of results to be obtained;

  • the level of detail and precision required;

  • the quality of available geotechnical data, etc.

2.1 Calculation objectives

The strategy to be implemented depends first and foremost on the goal of the calculation. It is therefore...
