Join our upcoming live series, “Designing Retaining Walls in PLAXIS,“ and “Designing with Groundwater in PLAXIS” to discuss practical tips and key lessons.

In this series, we will learn practical tips and key lessons from Sergei Terzaghi on designing retaining walls and groundwater simulation in PLAXIS. Sergei has over 39 years of Geotechnical Engineering experience throughout the Pacific Basin, the America’s and elsewhere across a wide range of soil conditions and project types.

  • We will discuss: ​
  • The challenges posed by the two different approaches; conventional stability-based approach used in design codes compared to the stress equilibrium-based approach in PLAXIS​
  • Common issues in design, setting up the model, and analysis
  • The Importance of groundwater analysis in your PLAXIS model​
  • The impact of the different types of groundwater analysis with a focus on the transient flow in particular​
  • Practical considerations and tips for groundwater analysis
