About company
The CRISP Consortium is a group of academics and engineers specialising in modelling geotechnical engineering problems. The group aims to promote the teaching of the finite element method via the software CRISP (CRitical State soil mechanics Program). This FE software was originally developed by research workers in the Cambridge University Soil Mechanics Group in the late 70's. Critical state soil mechanics (CSSM) provides a complete theoretical framework for describing the mechanical behaviour of soil. Finite element techniques allow CSSM theories to be applied to predicting ground movements associated with foundations, excavations, and other situations in geotechnical engineering. In addition, the software was expanded to allow modelling soil structure interaction and to cover a wide range of constitutive models suitable for a variety of soil conditions.
