Abstract
This book is mainly concerned with analytical and semi-analytical solutions for cavity expansion problems. In practice, however, it is inevitable that numerical methods must be used and this is particularly true when more sophisticated soil models are employed. For this reason, this chapter presents the basic formulations for finite element analysis of cavity expansion problems. To validate the finite element formulations, the analytical solutions presented in previous chapters need to be used for comparison.
