Get more out of PLAXIS by understanding and using advanced soil models as HSsmall and Soft Soil Creep and learn the advantages of 3D modelling for shallow, piled and piled raft foundation. Join the optional 4th day on Modelling Rock and Tunnels in PLAXIS.
The well-established Advanced Course on Computational Geotechnics for experienced PLAXIS users is organised every year as a continuation of the Standard Course on Computational Geotechnics. One of the aims of this course is to teach the application of advanced soil models. Whereas the standard course concentrates on using the Hardening Soil model, in the Advanced course attention is now fully focused on understanding the HSsmall model with small-strain stiffness and also the Soft Soil Creep model for soft clay. Experts with a thorough theoretical background and an extensive experience in practical computer modelling have been invited to give lectures and to prepare exercises as well as case studies.
