The world today is filled with geo-uncertainties, and it is essential to rely on an efficient and reliable numerical analysis technology in order to ensure a successful raft pile project. 

To help in this endeavour, the latest PLAXIS trends and functionality pieces are available to automate input, optimize output, and create an economical design. PLAXIS is equipped with an array of tools that address the complexity of a piled raft design. 

To learn more about the advantages of PLAXIS, join our product expert Richard Witasse and user expert Sébastien BURLON (TERRASOL) for a live webinar. Discover how PLAXIS can make your life as a designer much easier and guarantee successful outcomes.

​Unlock the full potential of PLAXIS and learn how to: 

  • Calibrate pile inputs with real in-situ results to optimize design
  • Quickly evaluate group effects with the definition of unit cell model
  • Make best use of Python Scripting functionalities to quickly and easily generate finite element 3D model with pile-raft soil interaction
  • See real-world examples of how PLAXIS has been used to successfully design projects like the Abidjan Tower in Ivory Coast.

Sébastien Burlon is a Technical Director at Terrasol (Setec group), a major consultancy in geotechnical engineering in France and abroad. He has 20 years of experience in geotechnical engineering with many projects involving soil-structure interaction and numerical modelling: high rise towers, nuclear power plants, wharfs. He has participated or directed several research projects in France and Europe, such as swelling-shrinkage of clays, piles under cyclic loads, energy piles, and pressuremeter tests. He is a member of the Eurocode 7 Management Group and is also involved as convenor of two project teams for the second generation of Eurocode 7. He is also involved in geotechnical engineering teaching (ENPC, ENTPE, Libanese University).

Recognized as an expert in geotechnical analysis and engineering, Richard Witasse has more than 20 years of experience in working with geotechnical digital tools and geotechnical finite element analysis software. After starting his career as a software engineer in the field of finite element analysis software for reinforced concretes structures, Richard became an application engineer and worked for the global leaders in geotechnical analysis software. Richard joined PLAXIS in 2008 and has always worked since then on geotechnical consulting, customer success and training for the many users of the most popular digital solutions for geotechnical engineering and analysis. Since 2018 Richard Witasse is Principal Application Engineer with Bentley Systems.
