Seminar overview:

Large deformations and soil-water-structure interaction play an important role in the assessment
of geotechnical and hydraulic structures. Examples are the post-failure analysis of slopes and
embankments, analysis of failure mechanisms of dykes for flood protection, effects of landslides
and its mitigation measures, occurrence of submarine flow slides, bearing capacity of
displacement piles or internal and external erosion problems. The talk will introduce the material
point method as a numerical tool and demonstrate its suitability in addressing some of these
challenges by using various practical examples.

Event overview:

Two of the most prominent names in geotechnical engineering will present and discuss their thoughts and experience regarding knowledge development and transfer in geotechnical engineering.

- How is knowledge created in geotechnical engineering?

Seminar overview:

All members of the society are invited to attend the Cambridge University Geotechnical Society Annual General Meeting (AGM). The AGM will summarise the past year's activities, discuss any improvements and new ideas, and elect the new committee. It is is an opportunity for all members to help shape the future of the Society.
