Using PLAXIS to create a reliable solution for getting new roads into service faster
The long-term serviceability of road embankments is a key part of successful highway engineering that stretches beyond initial questions of stability. This is particularly the case when the subsoils are prone to high compressibility over time.
Surcharge preloading – where the soils are loaded to accelerate the consolidation process – in conjunction with Prefabricated Vertical Drains (PVD) is a popular solution for cutting the wait time before constructed roads can go into service.
But the calculations can be complex. This point-by-point webinar showcases all the ways in which PLAXIS can speed up and simplify those calculations, and lead to reliable and more rapid highway embankment design. Includes the validation of numerical drainage response and a full-scale embankment analysis – a 350-day tour through the permeability change as the soil consolidates over time.
