    EVENT I:
    Z_SOIL.PC DAYS 2005, 29-30.08.2005
    (20 years Z_SOIL.PC)

    NUMERICS IN GEOTECHNICS made simple, @ epfl Lausanne

    Who should attend: engineers confronted with the need to perform numerical simulations for underground , above ground or combined constructions will get a comprehensive introduction to numerical simulations using Z_Soil.PC in 2D or 3D space, in dry or partially saturated rock or soil, with full structural capabilities, with soil-structure interaction, interfaces, thermal effects, ultimate load evaluation, continuous safety assessment, including creep, swelling, dilation, etc, etc...
    What you get(attendees only): notes of the presentations, and a free FULL 2D 2PHASE VERSION of ZSOIL_PC V6 with a 4 MONTHS unlimited license+ a significant discount in case of purchase.
    What is Z_SOIL.PC: Z_SOIL.PC is a complete user-friendly 2D/3D finite element package for soil, rock and soil-structure analysis available and used worldwide since 1985, and continuously upgraded. The program was developed at Zace Services Ltd, by a team of engineers with research experience at UC Berkeley, California Institute of Technology, Purdue University, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, and Cracow Institute of Technology. The aim is to provide the civil engineer with the simplest possible complete tool to accurately support engineering analysis and dimensioning.
