The GUI allows the user to initialise the slope geometry, define the hydrological, vegetation and geotechnical variables and, impose boundary conditions and initial conditions.
A soil constitutive model that correctly captures soil behavior under general loading modes is requisite to solving complex boundary value geotechnical engineering problems.
Another capability of the proposed model is use of asynchronous and repetitious monitoring data of the structure (given by different geotechnical and geodetic sensors) as boundary values which enables fusion of multi-sensor measurements at data level in an inertial reference frame.
Therefore, overtopping flow velocities and layer thicknesses are required in addition to average overtopping rates as hydraulic boundary conditions for the geotechnical stability analysis of seadikes.
Spatial variability and related uncertainty in modelling mineral deposit characteristics of interest, ranging from metal content and geological boundaries to geomechanical - geotechnical rock properties, can be modelled and quantified by stochastic spatial simulations.
Deterministic and Monte Carlo simulation was further performed under designated boundaries, combined with measured geotechnical parameters: density, porosity, permeability, partitioning coefficient, observed diffusivity, hydraulic gradient, etc., to quantitatively predict metals' fate during IBA land reclamation.
The results showed in a preliminary way that the modified model developed in this study was effective for simulating the strain-softening boundary-value problems common in geotechnical engineering.
It was found that the Hunter Clay model was able to successfully characterise the mechanical behaviour of the natural soft clay at Ballina, demonstrating its potential for implementation in numerical methods to solve boundary and initial value problems in geotechnical engineering.
These recommendations are based on specific geometrical, mechanical and load related boundary conditions, which are not fully transferable to all geotechnical applications.
Evaluation of the volume change behavior of expansive soils under controlled suction and boundary conditions is important for the proper design of different geotechnical systems.
