Course overview
The Designing Complex Retaining Walls using RISAFoundation Integration Course is a live, 1.5 hour hands-on training that explores ways to leverage the integration between RISA-3D and RISAFoundation to design custom retaining wall structures and other unique foundation situations. By rethinking where a RISA-3D model ends and a RISAFoundation model begins, users can learn to utilize the strengths of both programs to produce accurate analysis models, and to design underground structures that require more than simple hand calculations. Underground concrete water tanks, culverts, basement walls, and manhole vaults can all benefit from a combination two-part workflow where RISA-3D and RISAFoundation work seamlessly to design the complete structure.
Certification included
