    📝OVERVIEW
    Pile–raft foundations rely on the combined contribution of the raft, piles, and surrounding soil to safely transfer structural loads while controlling settlement.

    This webinar will demonstrate how MIDAS GTS NX can be used to model soil–foundation interaction, evaluate load-sharing behaviour, assess total and differential settlement, and interpret critical results for reliable and economical foundation design.
    WHAT YOU WILL EXPLORE
    01
    Model
    Develop a practical 3D  Finite Element Model  of a pile–raft foundation and surrounding soil using GTS NX.
    02
    Analyse
    Evaluate soil–foundation interaction and load-sharing behaviour between the raft, piles, and surrounding soil.
    03
    Interpret
    Assess total and differential settlement and interpret critical results for reliable foundation design.
    KEY LEARNING AREAS
    ✓ 3D FEM modelling of pile–raft foundations and surrounding soil
    ✓ Soil–foundation interaction modelling
    ✓ Load-sharing behaviour between piles and raft
    ✓ Total and differential settlement assessment
