    AI Summary

    By the end of this live session, you'll understand how to validate, optimize and build deep excavation models in MIDAS GTS NX

     

    1. Reading deformation results against expert-assessment limits

    2. Turning validation results into an optimized design

    3. Building an efficient 3D deep excavation model

    4. Simulating and interpreting a full 3D excavation

    Description

     A residential complex in a dense urban area required a deep excavation immediately next to existing buildings already showing cracks, settlement and long-term degradation.

     

    This session opens with how that retaining system was validated and optimized against strict deformation limits — 10 mm maximum horizontal displacement, 14 mm maximum settlement, 7 mm relative settlement — across 24 representative staged-construction profiles in MIDAS GTS NX. 

    Key Points

    Multi-Profile Staged Modelling: 24 distinct 2D profiles along the excavation perimeter, each reproducing its own soil stratification, groundwater level and neighboring geometry.

    Soil-Structure Interaction & Dewatering: Interface elements between soil and retaining piles, combined with staged groundwater lowering, to capture the real transfer of stresses through each phase.

    Design Optimization: Comparing the conservative initial retaining scheme against the staged-analysis result: 23% less pile length and over 55% less temporary steel, all within the imposed deformation limits.
