GTS NX Webinar
Next-Gen Railway Geotechnics:
Application Of Numerical Modelling In Sustainable And Resilient Railway Track Design
    🕑4:00 PM - 5:00 PM (IST)
📍GoToWebinar
Overview

This webinar explores the latest advancements in next-generation railway geotechnics achieved through the integration of high-fidelity Finite Element Method (FEM) modelling and targeted experimental validation. With the support of MIDAS GTS-NX, participants will gain insights into realistic simulation of rail track–ground interactions under diverse operational conditions, including variable load intensities, subgrade behaviours, and reinforcement configurations.

The session will highlight applications in:

➡ Geosynthetic-reinforced embankments (geocell, geotextile)

➡ Mitigation of reinforcement issues & mud-pumping

➡ Durability assessment under cyclic loading

➡ Micropile-based rehabilitation strategies for existing tracks

➡ 3D FEM modelling for vibration prediction in urban tunnels and structures

Attendees will learn how FEM-based approaches deliver mechanism-driven insights, optimize design strategies, reduce maintenance requirements, and enhance the resilience and lifespan of modern railway infrastructure.
