NBRRI Research Department held a workshop on the practical application of Geo-Studio Engineering Software at NBRRI Seminar Room at Abuja office. It was organised by NBRRI Research Department Abuja on Friday 5th July 2019.
The integrated Geo-Studio software suite is designed for the combination of multiple analysis using different products into a single modelling project. It can then use the results from one analysis as the starting conditions for another one.
New analyses can be easily created by cloning an existing analysis and adjusting its properties. When you are ready to analyse the model, Geo-Studio solves the analysis in the appropriate order, taking advantage of parallel processing.
This unique and powerful feature greatly expands the types of problems it can analyse. This approach is used to model construction sequences, establish initial conditions, perform sensitivity analyses, model complex time sequences, or simply decompose a complex problem into a number of smaller, more manageable analyses.
The training focused on 3 of the Geo-studio programs:
- SLOPE/W for slope stability modelling,
- SEEP/W for seepage analysis
- SIGMA / W for stress and deformation settlement modelling.
These are the ones mostly relevant to civil, geotechnical and Geo-environmental engineering projects, and they are the ones uniquely tailored for NBRRI projects too.
