RELIABILITY OF THE RESULTS OF THE CALCULATIONS IN THE FUNCTION OF THE SELECTED SOIL MODEL

Abstract

The reliability of geotechnical calculations is, as it is generally known, in function of the input parameters quality, both in terms of loads, as well as the physical and mechanical soil properties. In addition to above mentioned, reliability of the results of geotechnical analysis is also influenced by selection of constitutive soil model. This paper describes soil models and analyzes the suitability of the model on a real (implemented) geotechnical project.
