Middleware-based Modelling and Simulation of Geotechnical Structures
نویسنده
چکیده
Modern large scaled buildings are erected on rather complex foundations. The design and analysis of these geotechnical systems requires a high quality of computer modelling and simulation. Therefore, it is necessary to model all geotechnical structural elements in a realistic and practice-oriented way. Due to the complexity of geotechnical structures object-oriented models are most appropriate. To solve large problems by means of the finite element method using a multi-component-continua theory for partially saturated porous media, it is necessary to parallelize the discretization and the simulation of the soil models. Furthermore, new communication methods permit the distribution of discretization and simulation processes by accessing computer clusters through the Internet.

Artificial Neural Network Applications in Geotechnical Engineering
Over the last few years or so, the use of artificial neural networks (ANNs) has increased in many areas of engineering. In particular, ANNs have been applied to many geotechnical engineering problems and have demonstrated some degree of success. A review of the literature reveals that ANNs have been used successfully in pile capacity prediction, modelling soil behaviour, site characterisation, ...
متن کاملComponent-based models and simulation experiments for multi-agent systems in James II
The architecture of the modelling and simulation framework James II facilitates its reuse for a broad range of applications, including agent-based modelling and simulation. Simulation studies can be done by using component based models, which may have been defined in an external IDE and saved in an standardized way. We created a customisable middleware for James II, which can be easily extended...
متن کاملModelling Geotechnical Heterogeneities Using Geostatistical Simulation and Finite Differences Analysis
Modelling a rock mass in an accurate and realistic way allows researchers to reduce the uncertainty associated with its characterisation and reproduce the intrinsic spatial variability and heterogeneities present in the rock mass. However, there is often a lack of a structured methodology to characterise heterogeneous rock masses using geotechnical information available from the prospection pha...
متن کاملAccess control in ultra-large-scale systems using a data-centric middleware
The primary characteristic of an Ultra-Large-Scale (ULS) system is ultra-large size on any related dimension. A ULS system is generally considered as a system-of-systems with heterogeneous nodes and autonomous domains. As the size of a system-of-systems grows, and interoperability demand between sub-systems is increased, achieving more scalable and dynamic access control system becomes an im...
متن کاملGeotechnical Modelling of the Behaviour of Piles
Comprehensive geotechnical modelling of the behaviour of piles generally encounters setbacks: in preparing model bed simulating field conditions, of specific and uniform shear strength, and reproduction for repetitions. Due to such limitations in traditional practices, information on the complex mechanism of shaft-base resistance interaction is not adequately known. Other outcomes are: varied r...
