Metode Numerik Dalam Geoteknik: (Pengantar)

This document discusses numerical methods in geotechnical engineering. It explains that geotechnical analysis involves understanding soil properties, stability of structures, and interactions between structures and soil. Theoretical considerations include equilibrium, compatibility, constitutive behavior, and boundary conditions. Numerical analyses like finite element and finite difference methods allow more detailed analyses using realistic soil behavior models, though uncertainties remain regarding soil stress-strain characterization. Complex numerical methods require experience to apply properly and avoid irrelevant answers.

Geotechnical Analysis
Almost all civil engineering structures involve the ground in some way. Thus, geotechnical engineering plays a major role.

Design Objectives (1)


Local Stability: no danger of rotational, vertical, translational failure

Design Objectives (2)


Global Stability

Design Objectives (3)


Movements and interactions of structures

Design Requirements
Site investigation Determination of soil properties Stability of the geotechnical structure Restriction of the performance of the geotechnical structure Restriction of the adjacent structures

Theoretical Considerations
Equilibrium Compatibility Constitutive behavior Boundary conditions (force and displacement)

Equilibrium (1)
Analogous Example

Equilibrium (2)
Stresses on typical element

10

Compatibility (1)
Physical Compatibility

11

Compatibility (2)
Mathematical Compatibility: Strains defined as deformations (Timoshenko and Goodier 1951)

12

Equilibrium & Compatibility


Unknowns : 6 stresses + 6 strains + 3 deformations = 15 Equations : 3 equilibriums + 6 compatibilities = 9 Need more 6 equations from Constitutive behavior

Poulos (1989)

Poulos (1989)
the geotechnical analyst has some control, in particular, the method of analysis, the idealization of the soil profile and the values of the soil parameters used in the analyses.

It is concluded that, while all these factors may have an influence, the latter two are generally of greater importance than the method of analysis.

17

Poulos et al (2001)
The assessment of geotechnical parameters cannot be considered in isolation from the method of analysis employed. The two are tied together intimately, and it is both dangerous and inappropriate to attempt to report simplified parameters for a soil profile without clearly stating the intended application and associated method of analysis.

18

Poulos et al (2001)
For example, when a value of Youngs modulus of a soil layer is quoted, it must be made clear whether it is a tangent or secant value, whether it is to be used with linear or nonlinear theory, and whether it is intended to be applied to a shallow foundation or to a deep foundation.

19

Poulos et al (2001)
numerical analyses such as finite element & finite difference analyses now provide the means for carrying out more detailed Category 3 analyses, and of using more realistic models of soil behavior. virtually no problem that cannot be handled numerically, given adequate time, budget &information on loadings, in situ conditions & soil characteristics.

20

Poulos et al (2001)
Time is always an enemy in geotechnical engineering practice, and money all too often is limited. Loadings are almost always uncertain, and the difficulties of adequate site characterization are ever present.

mysteries persist in relation to the stress-strain characteristics of soil response to general loading conditions, and the quantitative description of this behavior.

21

Poulos et al (2001)
It must also be recognized that the potential for obtaining irrelevant answers when using complex numerical methods is very great, especially when the user of such methods is relatively inexperienced.
