Embankment Dam Design: Seepage, Foundation and Structure Stability check using Midas SoilWorks

15 October 2020 (Thursday) 10:00 AM
Webinar Duration: 90mins

OVERVIEW

MIDAS SoilWorks conveys a simple approach using 2D Finite Element Analysis in complex geotechnical problems.

In this webinar, we will do series of stability analysis in an embankment dam. Using coupled analysis between modules, we will address the common failure points and use Soilworks for settlement analysis and slope stability check of the embankment shoulder considering rapid drawdown and seepage effects.

Familiarize the functions used in analysis practical software tool developed by the practical engineers.
