with Professor Wong Kai Sin, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.


This short course focuses on issues related to deep excavations in fine grained soils. It provides an overview of deep excavation in soil and an understanding of the uncertainties and variables affecting the performance of the earth retention system. Its main emphasis is on the design and analysis using the limit equilibrium and the finite element methods and the range of applications and limitations of the Mohr-Coulomb soil model.

Some topics will be covered in detail while others will be highlighted on the important points.

This course has been taught in Australia, Indonesia, Vietnam and extensively in Singapore.
