Course Outline:

This course will cover the consolidation theories behind Settle3, RS2, and RS3 and the application of these tools in different engineering problems including settlement analysis, simulation of soil-structure interaction, and ground improvement analysis. The results from methods will be compared against each other and analytical solutions.

Module 1: Theory and Model Setup (Settle3)

• Stress computation methods
• Settlement estimation methods (empirical vs consolidation theory)
• Loads and excavations (flexible, rigid)
• Material models in Settle3
• Examples

Module 2: Theory and Model Setup (RS2 and RS3) Applications

• Consolidation Theory (Biot’s formulation)
• Model setup and boundary conditions
• Material models in RS2 and RS3
• Examples and comparison with Settle3

Module 3: Common Applications

• Loads and excavations
• Embankment designer Settle3
• Staged construction of Embankments in RS2 and RS3
• Reporting tools
• Examples

Module 4: Ground Improvement

• Modeling ground improvement methods in Settle3
• Wick Drains
• Soil replacement, Stone columns, and Vibro-compaction
• Wick Drains and other special boundary conditions in RS2 and RS3
• Case Study
