My PhD student Peter Falkingham (who graduated 15 December 2010) has published some interesting papers on Dinosaur Trackways. These might be of interest to those teaching Soil Mechanics, to give some examples that might be more stimulating than foundation design or traditional geotechnical engineering.

Hey.

I want to model an anchored sheet pile wall placed in a completly saturated clay material, where

the excavation steps on the left side of the wall have to be taken into account.

I am using the keyword in ABAQUS "*Model change, Remove" to remove my elements, so I can

simulate the excavation steps. Unfortunately, my pore pressures seem stranges in the

model when I am using this keyword.
