Part 1 of the 2 - term lecture. The course covers foundations of the mathematical modelling needed for solving
boundary value problems in geomechanics. Special attention is paid to the formulation of constitutive models for
soils and to the overview of numerical methods used in modern software. Exercises with the FE code Tochnog
stimulate individual training of the subject.
