Seismic Soil Structure Interaction Analysis with PALXIS 3D

What you'll learn
Creation of a 3D numerical model including piles, pile cap, bridge abutment and approach
Calibration of different earthquake time histories to determine the most suitable signal
Application of design time history to the created 3D model to determine forces in the foundation piles at different time steps
Implementation of Python scripting to extract forces in the pile via automation
Requirements
Knowledge of PLAXIS 2D and PLAXIS 3D
Description
This course caters to individuals familiar with PLAXIS software (2D and 3D). If you haven't worked with PLAXIS before, this course may be too advanced for your current level. Consider exploring my other courses on Udemy dedicated to PLAXIS 2D and 3D for a solid foundation.
PLAXIS is the industry's most adopted software for soil structure interaction analysis using the finite element method. This course presents advanced treatment of the performance of pile foundation of a bridge under earthquake loading using dynamic analysis with PALXIS 3D. The course covers the following subjects whilst modeling a real bridge foundation:
Creation of a 3D numerical model including piles, pile cap, bridge abutment and approach.
Calibration of different earthquake time histories to determine the most suitable signal that matches a specific design response spectrum Perform site response analysis to an earthquake time history and determine the spectral response at the ground surface using both 2D and 3D analyses.
Application of design time history to the created 3D model to determine forces in the foundation piles at different time steps.
Implementation of Python scripting to extract forces in the pile via automation.
Inspection of pile forces against geotechnical and structural capacity for strength adequacy. The course provides the Excel spreadsheet and Python codes used in the course.
