Webinar 2: Optimized Piled Raft Foundations with PLAXIS 3D And Eurocode
Are you looking to optimize your foundation design strategy? Whether you're working with piles, piled rafts, in excavations or navigating the evolving Eurocode framework, this webinar is for you.
Piled raft foundations have long presented a challenge for geotechnical and structural engineers. Key questions often arise: How can the raft contribute effectively to load transfer? What's the best way to model a piled raft within an excavation? How should piles be connected to the raft? Can I include partial safety factors in my analysis? How do I calibrate my model using in-situ tests?
To address these questions with confidence and accuracy, a powerful and reliable Finite Element Analysis (FEA) tool is essential. PLAXIS provides the robust functionalities engineers need to tackle these challenges and deliver high-performance foundation solutions.
In parallel, the evolution of the Eurocode has reached a critical phase. Since 2015, the new generation of Eurocode standards has been under development—with many parts already finalized and published. These updates are reshaping the design landscape.
Join our experts Dr. Richard Witasse, Dr. Sebastien Burlon and Dr. Witold Bogusz in this insightful session. Don't miss this opportunity to elevate your foundation design approach with cutting-edge tools and up-to-date your code knowledge.
What you will learn:
Use of numerical methods for ultimate limit state verification in the second generation of Eurocode 7. Input Factoring (strength properties) and Output Factoring (effects of actions) in numerical modelling. Implementation of partial factors in PLAXIS 3D using Design Approach feature. Case Study: Piled Raft Foundation analysis.
