Friction and contact in soil-structure-interaction

摩擦接触发生在土-结构接触面上，对许多土木工程结构的工作性能有重要影响，如建筑基础和土层锚固系统。为了更好地理解这一现象，需要新的理论模型和求解算法来模拟土-结构相互作用。该项目旨在开发这些模型和算法。其结果将导致改进的预测方法和更好的岩土工程设计策略。

Frictional contact, which occurs at soil-structure interfaces, has a major influence on the behaviour of many civil engineering structures such as building foundations and soil anchor systems. To better understand this phenomenon, new theoretical models and solution algorithms are needed to simulate soil-structure interaction. This project aims to develop these models and algorithms. Its outcomes will lead to improved prediction methods and better geotechnical design strategies.
