Piled raft foundations are increasingly adopted in modern geotechnical engineering for their cost-effectiveness and ability to reduce differential settlements. However, their performance is highly dependent on how accurately the soil–structure interaction is modeled. This webinar aims to explore and compare various numerical approaches to modeling piled raft foundations. ​

Join us to learn how various modeling techniques can govern the interaction of piles with soil.
