Course Objectives		1. The course aims to help students to develop a basis for a deeper understanding of soil behaviour. 2. It is aimed to provide students with an overview of constitutive models developed for soil behaviour and their correct and appropriate application in numerical methods mainly by finite element analysis. 3. To help students to develop skills and senses in the post-processing, assessment and interpretation of the numerical data produced.
Course Description		Understanding of the theoretical foundations and practical implications and evaluations of numerical methods utilized in Geotechnical Engineering with the help of application of these methods.
Course Outcomes		1. Learning a good understanding of soil behaviour. 2. Attaining a sufficient information and understanding for basic soil models. 3. Understanding the importance and the functions of model input parameters. 4. Gaining experience in performing a finite element analysis. 5. Understanding the key differences between simple and more complex constitutive models in terms of analysis results from finite element analyses.
