About the course
In this course, you will learn how to model a simple piled raft foundation and understand the fundamental principles of soil–structure interaction using half-space analysis. Starting from a blank project, you will build the complete example step by step, defining soil profiles, applying the Soil–Structure Interaction task, and generating clear, meaningful graphics for your report. You will also design the raft and piles using the available tasks in SOFiSTiK Structural Desktop, developing a full and consistent model throughout the lessons.
Happy Learning!
