INSTRUCTIONS TO CANDIDATES :
1. Attempt any FIVE questions.
2. Each question carries EQUAL marks.

1. What is importance of finite difference method in geotechnical engineering? Discuss in
detail with suitable example.
2. a) Why Polynomial type of interpolation function is mostly used in FEM? Discuss in
detail.
b) Discuss briefly finite element theory for nonlinear materials.
3. Write in detail the assumptions of porous two phase material analysis.
