Sažetak
A serious problem has been discovered in the interface formulation in one of the most popular finite element software programs used in geotechnical practice. This paper analyses the problem of interface formulation which is not in agreement with the definition given in program manuals. Problem explained appears to have been solved in the most recent version, but the author finds it important to discuss the implications of this problem, because there are so many investigation conclusions given in the recent past without being aware of this problem. A simple example of sliding block on elastic soil is used for this investigation and the results with discussions are presented, with intimate details of the computational model.
