This report drives a path through some of the main issues discussed by the 84 papers presented to the Session 1B – on Physical and Constitutive Modelling – of the 17th ICSMGE and evidences some of the results of major interest, with the aim of outlining the role of modelling in geotechnical engineering. Physical, theoretical/constitutive and numerical modelling strongly interact in design practice. Design is usually undertaken via simple conceptual models or rigorous numerical analyses; physical modelling provides important benchmarks for calibrate conceptual models and to validate numerical analyses and is particular useful when dealing with complex geotechnical problems.

Abstract
This report drives a path through some of the main issues discussed by the 84 papers presented to the Session 1B – on Physical and Constitutive Modelling – of the 17th ICSMGE and evidences some of the results of major interest, with the aim of outlining the role of modelling in geotechnical engineering. Physical, theoretical/constitutive and numerical modelling strongly interact in design practice. Design is usually undertaken via simple conceptual models or rigorous numerical analyses; physical modelling provides important benchmarks for calibrate conceptual models and to validate numerical analyses and is particular useful when dealing with complex geotechnical problems.I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
