1. Introduction to OptumG2

2. Limit analysis

3. Strength reduction analysis

4. Retaining systems and deep excavations

5. Embankment construction and slope stability

6. 3D modelling using OptumG3

This course covers basic and more advanced computational geotechnics using the software packages OptumG2 and OptumG3. At the end of the course students will be able to:

• Compute bearing capacities of typical geostructures in 2D and 3D
• Compute factors of safety for slopes, retaining walls and similar structures
• Simulate deep excavations using relevant soil models
• Simulate the construction of embankments on soft soil.

The course is presented through video tutorials and multimedia content within the Moodle virtual platform, with exercises like tests and practical cases, along with live webinars.
