Geotechnical Webinar Series
Geotechnical Webinar Series Strengthening and underpinning projects suffer from outdated design assumptions that inflate costs and compromise performance—are we still ignoring fully coupled 3D SSI? In this GeoStruXer-led webinar series, we challenge conventional geotechnical thinking with real-world case studies and cutting-edge simulations that expose inefficiencies and unlock smarter, cost-effective solutions. Part 01: The Role of Fully Coupled 3D SSI in Underpinning & Strengthening Projects – Case Studies from the Gulf Countries Wednesday, April 23, 20252:00 PM Gulf Standard Time In the first webinar of this series, we will cover: The Hidden Risks of Relying Solely on Soil Reports. Underpinning Done Right – Key factors to consider when strengthening existing foundations for long-term stability. Designing Isolated Footings with Confidence – What to check to prevent unexpected settlement and failure. Common Mistakes in Foundation Strengthening – Lessons learned from real-world failures and how to avoid them. Fully Coupled 3D SSI in Plaxis – How advanced numerical modelling transforms foundation design and analysis. InSAR for Buildings Monitoring – Using satellite-based deformation tracking to assess historical and semi-real-time settlement. Case Studies from the Gulf Countries. Live Q&A. Part 02: Field-Measured Heave in London Clay: Insights from 3D FEA and Advanced Constitutive Modeling Thursday, June
