Limit Equilibrium and Finite-Element analyses for your structures and foundations drastically increase the understanding of your site conditions, reducing risk and guesswork during design and construction. Properly leveraging the geotechnical tools you already own, like GeoStudio and PLAXIS, allows for complete understanding of your project environment and gives the proper context for all other involved engineers.

We will cover how to analyze a bridge abutment, tying into our "The Connected Highway: Integrating Road, Bridge, and Stormwater design" webinar that explores the workflow integration in the above-ground engineering world. We'll also preview how your Geotechnical Analysis sets the foundation to integrate with your structural workflows, connecting to STAAD and RAM so environmental changes get directly reflected in structural analysis. Integrating and automating workflows reduces the risk of manual error and oversight, especially when we're able to connect multiple engineering disciplines and provide a common environment for your projects.
