SMAP-2D and SMAP-3D
Structure Medium Analysis Program
Static, Consolidation and Dynamic Analysis for Dry, Saturated and Partially Saturated Soils and Rock Mass
Both SMAP-2D and SMAP-3D are state-of-the-art multi-phase nonlinear finite element analysis programs which can be applied to compute static, consolidation, or dynamic response of dry, saturated, or partially saturated soils and porous rocks.
Both SMAP-2D and SMAP-3D have especially useful features for earthquake analysis since they can continuously perform the static analysis followed by dynamic analysis with appropriate boundary change.
SMAP-2D is the 2-dimensional version which takes account of spherical symmetry, plane strain and axisymmetry configurations. And SMAP-3D is the 3-dimensional Version.
Over a decade, the programs have been continuously improved based on results of theoretical and experimental research works. The programs can be a useful tool for both research and practicing engineers to study geomechanical response of saturated or partially saturated soils and porous rocks.
