FROM THEORY TO PRACTICE:
In this workshop, you will learn the basics of the design of complex deep excavation projects with advanced methods. The seminar will provide a strong theoretical background on the design of excavations with the 2D and 3D Finite Element Analysis method, explain the methods and tricks for the design and evaluation of complex deep excavation models. The workshop will build on solid fundamentals and help engineers minimize uncertainties in deep excavation design.
