Timing What the students do
10 mins Introduction. Recap of forces, stresses, invariants. Watch demo of simulation
20 mins Perform parametric study consolidating to five different pressures and recording p, q and ρ at the point of failure.
5 mins Collect values from students and compare. Discuss why they might have different values.
5 mins Plot failure values in Excel/Python/Matlab.
10 mins Group share time. Discuss failure in context of critical state soil mechanics.
