GGSD Program Details for GEOSTRESS

GEOSTRESS

Category	Numerical analysis (soil)
Publisher	EBA Engineering Consultants Ltd.
Platform	Win2000, WinXP
Status	Commercial
Description	GEOSTRESS predicts insitu ground deformation response to both stress and thermal induced activities, and can model consolidation, seismic loading, and creep of frozen soil. It has been developed for geotechnical engineering applications under plane strain and axisymmetric conditions. It allows the user to prescribe initial temperatures, pressures, loads, displacements, and strains, and will permit construction sequence simulations for excavations, earthfills and structural loadings. Elastoplastic and visco-elastic creep analyses can be performed. The model features a coupled solution of transient pore pressure response, giving it the ability to model transient changes in effective stress, consolidation and seepage for complex engineering applications. The program also includes the use of post peak strain softening models that permit analysis of statically and dynamically induced liquefaction failures, and of slope instability caused by progressive failure.
