The course is designed to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of the unique characteristics of soft soils and their modeling techniques using the industry-leading geotechnical engineering software, PLAXIS.
Soft soils pose significant challenges to geotechnical engineers due to their low strength, high compressibility, and complex behavior. This course will delve into the fundamental principles underlying the behavior of soft soils, exploring their geotechnical properties, consolidation, shear strength, and settlement characteristics. Participants will gain a deep understanding of the challenges associated with designing and analyzing structures built on soft soil deposits.
