Over the last ten years, SMAP programs have
been continuously improved in their capability to solve broad
range of geotechnical and structural problems as well as in their
easiness to use. SMAP programs draw more attentions from
engineering designers, researchers, and graduate students
throughout the world since their theoretical background is based
on advanced multiphase theory which has been proved by
experimental works.
Significant recent projects that used SMAP
incldue ; New harbor design which employs sand drain method
accompanied by preload consolidation, 3 dimentional analysis for
the old massive earth dam leakage investigation, structural
failure analysis for the subway reinforced concrete slabs caused
by gas explosion, top-down multi step prestressed earth wall
design, and NATM tunnel lining-surrounding rock interaction
analysis subjected to strong recorded earthquakes.
Recently, SMAP programs have employed the
special method that allows much easier soil dynamic analysis by
continuously solving dynamic analysis with appropriate boundary
change after static or consolidation analysis. Furthermore, most
importantly, SMAP end users can get technical supports directly
from the developers with effective and timely response.
