Part 3: Thurber Engineering: Design and Optimization of an Anchor-Shotcrete System using PLAXIS 2D and 3D

Name: Part 3: Thurber Engineering: Design and Optimization of an Anchor-Shotcrete System using PLAXIS 2D and 3D
Start: 2025-07-31T00:00:00-04:00
End: 2025-07-31T00:00:00-04:00

Soil anchors and shotcrete are widely used in geotechnical engineering to ensure the stability of construction, slopes, and excavations. However, the design process can be complex, frequently resulting in overly conservative analyses, which in turn drive up costs.

PLAXIS is a leading geotechnical analysis software, accessible to both small and large companies. With its well-established reputation in the industry, PLAXIS is a popular choice for achieving optimal design, saving time, and avoiding unnecessary costs.

Graeme Law from Thurber Engineering will present a case study demonstrating the use of PLAXIS 2D and 3D to optimize the remediation of an existing mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) wall with the use of soil anchors and reinforced shotcrete facing. Join us for a live webinar to discover how PLAXIS can effectively help you save time and money in geotechnical analysis.

What you will learn:

Efficient approach to PLAXIS analysis for optimal design of anchors and shotcrete
How to select the appropriate elements to accurately replicate real-life cases
How PLAXIS' visual features can help quickly interpret the results of anchor and shotcrete system analysis

Date/Time: July 31, 2025 3:00 PM EDT

Speakers: Antonio Soldo, Products Sales Engineer, Bentley Systems Inc., Graeme Law, Geotechnical Engineer, Thurber Engineering Ltd.
