Join Dr. Andrew Lees to learn about an innovative case study on Robroyston Embankment in Glasgow. In this interactive webinar you can:

Discover a peer-reviewed method for characterizing the TensarTech Stratum ground improvement solution in Plaxis 3D
Understand how to predict differential settlement of embankments with peat pockets using the Soft Soil Creep model.
Learn how satellite InSAR displacement data was used to validate the FEA model and monitor embankment settlements
Marvel at the £500k saved by Glasgow City Council over harder engineering solutions.

Dr. Andrew Lees is the Director of the geotechnical FEA and satellite remote sensing consultancy; Geofem. He is also the Global Application Technology Manager for Tensar and Visiting Research Fellow at the University of Southampton. He has over 20 years of experience applying FEA in geotechnical design and authored the popular textbook on geotechnical FEA published by the Institution of Civil Engineers. He was a member of the redrafting panel for Eurocode 7 and presented Tensar’s award-winning vlog Ground Coffee.
