Numerical Methods in Geotechnical Engineering 2023 | SRK Consulting

The 10th European Conference on Numerical Methods in Geotechnical Engineering (NUMGE 2023) will be held at Imperial College London.

NUMGE 2023 will provide a forum for academics, researchers and engineering practitioners to meet and discuss the current state-of-the-art in numerical methods in Geotechnical Engineering and highlight current challenges faced in their application to geotechnical problems. 

In particular, NUMGE 2023 will deliver an opportunity to anticipate, conceive and discuss future developments in this dynamic and ever-evolving field of knowledge.

Stability Analysis of Tailings Storage Facilities Using a Simplified Quasi-1D Deformation Model
Wednesday, June 28, 2023, 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM

This presentation describes a simplified procedure to analyse the stability of tailings storage facilities at screening level, employing a quasi-1D FEM model. NorSand critical state constitutive model was employed.

Seismic Liquefaction Potential Assessment by Means of Automated Numerical Modelling
Wednesday, June 28, 2023, 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM

In this work, an extensive numerical modelling exercise is performed to determine which are the main aspects of the soil and the earthquakes that control the liquefaction phenomenon and understand why these methods work so well.

A High-Fidelity Seismic Intensity Measure to Assess Dynamic Liquefaction in Tailings

Tuesday, June 27, 2023, 02:00 PM - 03:30 PM GMT

This presentation delves into a new method for accurately analysing tailings dam deformation under earthquake conditions using a high-fidelity seismic intensity measure (IM) that estimates seismic demand in terms of displacements. This innovative approach enhances the reliability of seismic damage assessment for geotechnical facilities compared to traditional IMs.

Flow Liquefaction and Large Deformation Analysis in a Tailings Dam Using MPM and Critical State-Based Material Modelling
Tuesday, June 27, 2023, 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM

This presentation explores the capabilities of the Material Point Method (MPM) and a critical state-compatible, bounding surface plasticity model for sands to simulate the flow liquefaction phenomenon and the subsequent runout distance following a tailings dam failure.

Numerical Study of Moist Tamping and End Platens Lubrication Effect on Undrained Triaxial Test of a Sand
Tuesday, June 27, 2023, 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM

This technical presentation evaluates the effects of void ratio non-uniformities and the lubrication of end platens on the undrained triaxial compression behaviour of a sand. Our team conducted a comprehensive numerical investigation, modelling sixteen cases using the NorSand constitutive model with varying lubrication conditions and pre-shearing void ratio distributions.
