Description

In this session, Dr. Mehdi Ebadi from AGL Consulting presents a comprehensive look at Soil–Structure Interaction (SSI) modeling for both piled and non-piled foundation solutions, drawing from high-profile geotechnical projects across Europe.

The session goes beyond standard modeling workflows to address practical challenges faced in real-world infrastructure projects, including deep urban excavations, complex maritime foundations, and high-rise structures. Participants will gain a thorough understanding of how site investigation data and laboratory results can be effectively translated into accurate and reliable MIDAS GTS NX model parameters.

The session also explores strategies for comparing piled vs. non-piled solutions through rigorous numerical verification, providing engineers with the tools to make well-justified design decisions. A particular focus is placed on validating model outputs against field observations and practical design standards used across European engineering practice.
