• 3-D modelling can be useful for complex geometries

• 3-D modelling can be useful for complex geometries
• Often variations in ground conditions or
construction procedure render sophisticated
constitutive models redundant
• KIS = Keep It Simple

Dominating Factor...
Ground Conditions Uncertainty
26
• But still views diverge on the correct balance
between protective and commercial aspects.
• variance between analytical tools
• significance of disturbance to field samples
• use of average values or more conservative
• whether soil properties may change during the excavation
process
