Earth retaining walls are common civil engineering structures. What goes on behind them in terms of soil-wall interaction has a sound theoretical framework but its physical significance can be further enhanced in pedagogical terms by recourse to experimental setups and numerical simulations. This paper presents a set of numerical studies designed to raise student awareness of the factors controlling...
Every civil engineering structure relies on the good performance of its foundation, whose function of safely transmitting load to the ground is carried out away from our eyes. With the purpose of giving visibility to this process this paper describes two IT tools and a small-scale experimental setup that have been developed as learning aids for the study of the behavior and bearing capacity of shallow...
