What You Will Learn - PLAXIS Geotechnical Analysis

What You Will Learn

Interpret subsurface data and perform site characterisation using boreholes, SPT/CPT, and soil stratigraphy for design inputs.

Select appropriate soil models, simulate realistically, and assess their impact on deformation and settlement predictions.

Design and check shallow foundations, including raft and combined types, considering layered, sloping soils and eccentric loads.

Perform pile foundation design, accounting for group effects, rigidity, and soil–pile interaction for optimal performance.

Calculate immediate and long-term settlements and propose effective mitigation strategies.

Understand soil–structure interaction and seismic considerations, including site classification, dynamic stiffness, and liquefaction in PLAXIS.

Course Overview

PIGSO LEARNING’s Advanced Foundation Engineering course is designed for practising professional engineers working in geotechnical, mining, geology and researchers for related fields who want practical learning in modern foundation design and numerical modelling.

The program provides rigorous theory with hands-on PLAXIS 2D labs, worked examples, and design checklists to address advanced topics such as foundations on slopes, layered soil behaviour etc.
