It was a pleasure meeting you in New York, the workshop was a great add-on for me as a user of the software. It has provided validation of used method and has shown new way of using the software.

ONE PILE.
DIFFERENT METHODS.
DIFFERENT CAPACITIES.
What changes when the same foundation is checked with different geotechnical capacity methods, building codes and load combinations? Over two live sessions, this workshop moves from soil properties and single-pile capacity to lateral analysis, pile groups, pile rafts and 3D finite element analysis-then applies the same engineering logic to helical piles. Understand the why behind the numbers.
Different methods. Different results. Understand the why behind the numbers.
AFTER THIS WORKSHOP, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO:
✓ Select the appropriate geotechnical capacity method for driven, drilled, drilled displacement and helical piles
✓ Understand how building codes and load combinations (FHWA, AASHTO LRFD, EC7) affect pile design
✓ Analyze lateral pile behavior, pile groups and pile rafts
✓ Design helical piles, from geotechnical and structural capacity to settlement analysis and load tests
✓ Make better foundation design decisions and reduce project risk and cost
