This session includes an overview of some ground improvement methodologies, explanation about geometric modelling features available in Midas GTS NX, and specific material models to simulate clay and consolidation behaviour such as Modified Cam Clay, Soft Soil, etc. Different features available in the program to simulate certain ground improvement methods such as with Prefabricated Vertical Drains, Stone Columns, etc would be discussed. Consolidation Analysis will be explained in detail with a sample problem of embankment consolidation and ground improvement with PVDs. Participants can also repeat also the modelling and analysis steps simultaneously to get a Hands-On Learning experience for Midas GTS NX as the training will cover all the steps from scratch.
