A modern approach to foundation calculations

Expand the understanding of the risks of the standard approach and show where the designer loses money

The seminar reveals the limitations of traditional design according to SP: why tabular values ​​are not specific, but an average approach that does not take into account the features of a specific site. Participants will learn what they lose by relying solely on the results of "basic" surveys, and how this affects the cost, safety and timing of the project. Analysis of errors in real cases will show how the standard path leads to overspending of materials, overestimation of depth and excessive reinforcement.

Venue of the seminar: Almaty, Satbayev University, auditorium 113 GUK.

Show the advantages of geotechnical modeling and teach how to apply it in practice

Using the example of the 240 MW CHP project, participants will see how modern methods (CPT, SPT, MASW, Plaxis modeling) allow taking into account real data, geological features, seismicity and neighboring buildings. Analysis of the modeling stages will help to understand which parameters are critical, how to collect them, and how to interact with the survey team. It will also be shown how to correctly include modeling in the TOR for the IG, and why this approach facilitates the examination, reduces the risk of cost overruns and makes the designer's work more manageable and predictable.
