Halfspace Analysis for Raft Foundations

This course explains the modelling and analysis workflow for raft foundations using halfspace soil representation. Participants learn how to define soil bedding conditions, apply structural loads, evaluate settlements, and interpret support reactions. The content introduces the interaction between structural elements and subsoil behaviour for realistic foundation analysis. Special attention is given to modelling assumptions, meshing strategies, and result evaluation for engineering decision-making. The workflow supports efficient assessment of raft foundation performance under static loading conditions. By completing the course, users gain practical knowledge for setting up reliable foundation models and reviewing displacement, stress, and soil pressure distributions in engineering projects.
