Suction bucket foundations are more cost effective than conventional piles because of their ease of installation, higher load capacities, and lower environmental impact. In this webinar, we will show you how the new SACS-PLAXIS Suction Bucket feature provides an efficient framework to analyze nonlinear soil interaction and design of suction buckets.
The webinar will cover these topics:
- Demonstration of the new SACS - PLAXIS Suction Bucket Analysis Interoperability Framework
- How to automatically generate suction bucket models with SACS
- Using PLAXIS to generate suction bucket finite element models with advanced nonlinear soil constitutive models for soil-structure interaction
- How to generate soil nonlinear springs from your PLAXIS results
