This lecture introduces the fundamentals of computational geomechanics, focusing on mesh generation, groundwater flow analysis, and constitutive behavior modeling. Topics include finite element methods, steady-state and transient groundwater flow, poroelasticity, and rigid plasticity. The course covers assumptions, numerical methods, and practical applications in geotechnical engineering.
