Numerical and Visualization Techniques in Geotechnical Engineering Education
Numerical methods, especially the finite element method, are widely used in geotechnical engineering to analyze a large range of boundary value problems. The outputs from numerical methods are often overwhelming and one has to wade through a large body of numbers to get the desired results. Software technology is now available to animate the results of numerical methods to provide visual outputs. These visual outputs help to improve our interpretation and evaluation of numerical analyses. Significant progress in visualization has been made in commercially available programs such as ABAQUS. However, progress in the area of geotechnical education has been rather slow. The purpose of this paper is to present visualization techniques to help students understand fundamental concepts in geotechnical analysis. In this paper, a multimedia interactive and animated teaching module on the basic concepts of one-dimensional consolidation of soils using a finite difference scheme is presented. Key learning objectives are described and then self-paced interactions are developed to meet these objectives.
