In light of the importance of the San Fernando Dam case histories and their prominence in the literature, it is important to show how GeoStudio, and in particular QUAKE/W, can be used to analyze cases …

The analysis of the Lavender MRT case study demonstrates that GeoStudio can be used to model the behavior of deep shored excavations in soft ground. More importantly, the case study reveals the …

Figure 7. Phreatic surface, head contours and flow vectors given 1 m well spacing In the Mesh view of BUILD3D, two polyline Locations were created in order to view results in GeoStudio’s Draw Graph …

Introduction This example simulates a one-dimensional consolidation test. The sides are constrained as in an odometer test. Analytical solutions are available for a case like this, making it possible to verify …

This example illustratesthe power of GeoStudio product integrationby using transient SEEP/W water transfer results in SLOPE/W to evaluate the change in factor of safety over time.

The included GeoStudio data file “Braced deep excavation in soft ground.gsz” presents only the analysis of the Lavender MRT Station. Data files for the other five analyses are available upon request, if …

Figure 2 presents the Analysis Tree for the GeoStudio Project. An In Situ analysis was conducted using the K0 procedure to establish the initial stresses and pore-water pressures in the ground. The …

Background Duncan, Wright and Wong (1990) proposed a three-stage approach for modeling staged rapid drawdown. The first stage involves the stability analysis of the embankment before drawdown. …

Four steady-state water transfer analyses are included in the Analysis Tree of the GeoStudio Project (Figure 3). The first three analyses use a shallow pan only, with varying hydraulic conductivity …

The finite element simulations completed using GeoStudio indicated that the standard problem required at least 200 minutes to reach steady-state. The simulated duration of the modified case was longer …
