Session 2: Subgrade Modulus (K-Value) Determination Using PLAXIS 3D

• Understanding K-value and limitations of traditional methods
• FEM-based approach using PLAXIS 3D
• Real-world case study

Session 3: Pile-Raft Foundation Design Optimization

• Modeling foundation–soil interaction in PLAXIS
• Settlement control and cost-effective design strategies
• Case highlight from large-scale residential tower projects

Session 4: Diaphragm Wall and Shoring Design for Deep Excavations

• Common failures and design challenges
• Staged construction and wall deformation analysis in PLAXIS
• Case study: Deep excavation near a metro tunnel in Mumbai

Session 5: Real-World Project Highlights Using PLAXIS

• Iconic project examples from India, including High-Speed Rail, Shri Ram Mandir, and Metro networks
