Transportation has undergone significant development throughout history, with a wide orbit of drivers influencing how, when, how much, and why people transfer their goods worldwide. The demand for mobility has always been driven by the need to capitalise on opportunities, whether for projects, services, trade, or entertainment, depending on the specific historical and cultural circumstances.

The current biggest geotechnical projects in the world are in the transportation sectors such as railways, highways, ports, and airports. These projects rely heavily on geotechnical engineering. New and efficient solutions are being developed to help reduce and optimise the overall costs of such projects. Rigid inclusions are one of these solutions applied worldwide to solve the settlement and stability problems geotechnical engineers often face. The latest PLAXIS techs and functionalities provide considerable help and are available to calibrate input and optimise output for creating an economical and functional design.

Join our experts Richard Witasse and Jerome Racinais (Menard - Engineering Director) for a live webinar and learn how PLAXIS can help your Rigid inclusion design and guarantee modelling success.

This webinar will demonstrate:

  • PLAXIS modelling workflow highlights
  • Relevant PLAXIS functionality for modelling rigid inclusions
  • MENARD practical experience and added-value highlight in using PLAXIS on real projects
