Part 2: Optimizing Sheet Pile Support Systems with PLAXIS 2D – Static and Seismic Analysis Made Simple

Support of excavation (SOE) using sheet piles is a common and proven technique in geotechnical engineering. Yet, engineers today face increasing pressure to speed up design workflows while minimizing the size of sheeting and bracing systems to reduce material usage and overall costs. When dynamic forces, such as seismic loading, come into play, the analysis becomes more demanding and complex.

PLAXIS 2D provides a robust environment to streamline the design and analysis of sheet pile systems. With advanced modeling capabilities, it helps prevent overdesign, reduce construction costs, and deliver safer, more optimized support solutions.

In this live webinar, Richard Witasse will demonstrate how PLAXIS 2D can be used for efficient sheet pile analysis under both static and dynamic conditions. Learn how to enhance your SOE designs, save time, and reduce material costs—without compromising safety.

What you will learn:

• Accelerating sheet pile wall designs for static and dynamic analysis using PLAXIS
• Optimizing your analysis by choosing the appropriate modeling parameters
• Understanding the results of the sheet pile wall analysis in PLAXIS
