Adaptive Algorithms for Lower Bound Limit Analysis. Lower bound limit analysis is a powerful new tool for predicting the maximum load that a geotechnical structure can sustain without collapsing. The results from this method are, however, dependent on the mesh used. This project aims to develop an adaptive meshing procedure for lower bound limit analysis that will iteratively optimise the mesh, subject to an accuracy condition on the computed collapse load. The aim is to produce a cost-effective solution method for use by practising engineers.
