📝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.
