Analysis of embankment dams : computational aspects

Aspects of the numerical simulation of the static behaviour of embankment dams were investigated in this thesis. Different stress updated algorithms were compared and the implicit backward Euler scheme was found to be the most accurate and robust. Particular emphasis was given to the use of a tangen...
