INTERACTIVE COMPUTER GRAPHICS IN 3-D GEOTECHNICAL FEM ANALYSIS. SYMPOSIUM ON RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN LABORATORY AND FIELD TESTS AND ANALYSIS OF GEOTECHNICAL PROBLEMS. ASIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, BANGKOK, THAILAND, 6-9 DECEMBER 1983

This paper is the third progress report on research initiated at Cornell University during 1980 that will provide a powerful "user-friendly" environment for engineers to analyze a wide spectrum of nonlinear, 2-D and 3-D geotechnical problems involving construction and excavation processes. In 1981, we illustrated in detail how effective interactive computer graphics can be for creating finite and boundary element meshes for non-incremental problems (Ingraffea, Kulhawy, and Abel, 1981). In 1982, we focused on interactive analysis for 2-D incremental construction and excavation problems (Kulhawy, et al., 1982). This paper will address interactive analysis for 3-D incremental construction and excavation problems. For the covering abstract of the symposium see IRRD 809912. (Author/TRRL)
