The design of retaining walls has traditionally been carried out using simplified methods of analysis (limit equilibrium, stress fields) or empirical approaches. However, such approaches cannot, and do not, provide all the desired design information. Numerical methods provide a viable alternative and have the advantage that they provide all of the desired design information in a consistent manner.
Design and construction of deep trenches below the water table is challenging, therefore deformation and drainage control should be designed using different computational approaches to assess the displacement of a given solution. In this webinar, we will analyze the different approaches to groundwater modeling in midas GTS NX.
Key points:
1. Groundwater Problems in Deep Excavations
2. Numerical Analysis vs Analytical Solutions
3. Define Water Pressures during an Excavation Process
4. Project Case Studies
