Numerical modeling is a powerful tool to determine the stress-strain relationships of structures. However, for a reliable application, physical and mathematical models must be calibrated and validated. This paper presents an overview of numerical calibration through the finite element method and plate-load tests in an embankment. Additionally, an analysis of the constitutive models used in soils is performed, and the elastic-plastic constitutive model of Mohr-Coulomb was selected since it is the best suited for this study. The results from three test areas within a refinery project that the Cuban government undertook in the province of Cienfuegos are used. The numerical model used in this study was calibrated by means of the error theory and the non-parametric hypothesis tests from Mann-Whitney U. From the practical point of view, this study gives two procedures to calibrate the numerical model with experimental results.
El modelado numérico es una herramienta poderosa para determinar la relación esfuerzo-deformación de las estructuras. Sin embargo, para una aplicación confiable, los modelos físicos y matemáticos deben ser calibrados y validados. Este artículo presenta una mirada a la calibración numérica empleando el método de elementos finitos y ensayos físicos de placa de carga en un terraplén. Se realiza además un análisis de los modelos constitutivos empleados en suelos y se selecciona el modelo constitutivo elástico-plástico de Mohr-Coulomb por ser el que mejor se acomoda a este estudio. Se utilizan los resultados de tres áreas de prueba dentro de un proyecto de refinería que el gobierno cubano llevó a cabo en la provincia de Cienfuegos. El modelo numérico empleado en este estudio se calibró empleando la teoría de errores y la prueba de hipótesis no paramétrica U de Mann-Whitney. Desde un punto de vista práctico, este estudio brinda dos procedimientos para calibrar un modelo numérico con resultados experimentales.
