MIDAS GEOTECHNICAL WEBINAR
Deep Excavation & Retaining Structures with midas GTS NX
    2:00 PM - 3:00 PM (EAT) | 4:00 PM-5:00 PM (Dubai Time)
Online
Overview

Deep excavations present crucial challenges that demand rigorous analysis to ensure the structural integrity of retaining systems. Retaining walls, designed to stabilize excavation slopes, must efficiently counteract soil pressures, hydrostatic forces, and dynamic construction loads.

 

In this webinar, you'll explore advanced 2D modeling techniques using GTS NX—focusing on precise geometry creation, realistic load application, and robust boundary condition setups. Attendees will gain insights into meshing, construction stage analysis and proper results' interpretation necessary to optimize design safety and performance in complex excavation projects.
