Building on Facts, Not Assumptions: How Geotechnical Modeling is Changing the Design Approach

Date: August 08, 2025
Time: 16:30
Format: Online and offline
Location: Almaty, Satbayev University , auditorium 113 of the Main Building
Language: Russian
Number of PD hours: 1.5 points

Join the Modern Foundation Analysis workshop to learn how geotechnical modeling based on real data enables more accurate, cost-effective and safer engineering decisions – as opposed to the standard SP approach. Participants will gain practical tools for optimizing pile and slab foundations, learn where the designer loses money by using average values and how to change this.

In the program:
🔹 What are the limitations of the standard approach to SP and what do the “default” surveys provide?
🔹 Principles of constructing a numerical model in Plaxis
🔹 Practice on the example of a 240 MW CHPP: precipitation, load redistribution, optimization
🔹 How modeling reduces risks, simplifies expertise and saves budget
🔹 Transition to a new level: drawing up a competent technical specification for the IG, stages of connecting modeling, interaction with the survey team

Target audience:
✅ Designers, constructors, chief engineers and chief architects
✅ Developers, builders and technical supervision specialists
✅ Students and teachers of construction and engineering universities

Participation fee:
PONEN members - free of charge
Non-PONEN members - free of charge

📌 Duration: 1 hour
📌 Registration required

The seminar will be useful for those who want to move from a conservative and costly approach to engineering solutions based on real data, accurate calculations and modern practice.
