Geotechnical & Soil-Structure Interaction
Finite element and related limit equilibrium techniques are becoming well-established and invaluable tools for practising geotechnical engineers wishing to investigating the behaviour of soils and adjacent structures, including slopes, tunnels & foundations.
Benefits include:
- Predict the ground movement, structural deflections and loads with accuracy
- Reduce conservatism within designs limited by empirical checking methods
- Understand performance changes due to loading & material uncertainities
Wilde have been the UK and Ireland agent of the industry leading PLAXIS software for over a decade and have run highly popular training courses annually on computational methods in geotechnics since 2002. In addition, we offer the Terrasol suite of slope stability (TALREN) and related programs which complement and integrate with PLAXIS. Through our partners we also provide expert services for the most challenging geotechnical modelling problems.

Geotechnical Engineering Software
PLAXIS
PLAXIS is the leading geotechnical finite element software, specifically developed for the 2D and 3D analysis of deformation, stability and groundwater flow. It is currently used by over 3000 engineers worldwide in the civil engineering, nuclear, oil & gas and renewable energy industries. Renowne...
Terrasol (TALREN)
Complementary to PLAXIS finite element software, Terrasol software uses Bishop's Method and other well-established and verified analytical methods to produce fast results for specific applications. You can learn how to use the software in a single day, and assess designs in accordance with the la...
