Drained and undrained soil. Consolidation analysis in Plaxis

Learn how drained and undrained condition affect soil behaviour in geotechnical analysis

What you'll learn
- Difference between drained and undrained soil behaviour
- Difference among various types of undrained soil behaviour in Plaxis
- Consolidation analysis
- Geotechnical analysis of an embankment on soft soil

Requirements
- Basic knowledge of soil mechanics
- Experience in using Plaxis

Description
Welcome to the comprehensive course designed for students and professionals seeking an in-depth understanding of undrained soil behaviour. This course will equip you with essential knowledge and practical skills for effectively conducting geotechnical analysis of undrained soils including consolidation analysis using Plaxis.

In particular, you will learn how to:

- Understand the differences between drained and undrained soil behaviour and how these behaviours impact soil stability and performance.

- Explore the features and applications of non-porous drainage type of material.

- Learn about the various types of undrained soil behaviour in Plaxis (Type A, B and C),  what input parameters are required for each of these undrained types, and how they respond to applied loads.

- Gain insights into how consolidation analysis is performed using Plaxis; Understand the principles behind consolidation, and learn how to apply these principles to analyze and interpret the effects of loading on soil over time.

- Apply your knowledge through a detailed case study involving the construction of a road embankment on soft soil. Use Plaxis to evaluate the design, assess potential challenges, and propose solutions based on real-world data and scenarios.

Join the course to enhance your expertise in undrained soil behaviour, and gain practical experience with Plaxis consolidation analysis.

Who this course is for:
- Geotechnical engineering students
- Engineering practitioners with limited or no experience in consolidation analysis
