Language: German
Prof. El Gendy, together with the father of elastic rafts (Prof. Kany), had developed analysis of rafts and further piled rafts in the program ELPLA. ELPLA can use to analyze rafts and piled rafts of arbitrary shape with subsoil stratification and variable stiffness by different calculations methods. Therefore, it is considered as the most widely used program.
The objectives of this workshop are that participants can analyze piled rafts and distinguish between different calculation methods of piled rafts.
