The evaluation of embankment stresses by coupled boundary element - finite element method

<p>Numerical methods and specifically the finite element method have improved significantly since their introduction in the 60's. These advances were mainly in: 1) introducing higher-order elements, 2) developing effective solution schemes, 3) developing sophisticated means of modeling th...
