Abstract:Numerical modeling is a powerful tool to determine the stress-strain relationships of structures. However, for a reliable application, physical and mathematical models must be calibrated and validated. This paper presents an overview of numerical calibration through the finite element method and plate-load tests in an embankment. Additionally, an analysis of the constitutive models used in soils is performed, and the elastic-plastic constitutive model of Mohr-Coulomb was selected since it is the best suited fo… Show more
