Analysis pile foundation of HSL Rijpwetering

Back

Observations of the bridge Rijpwetering have shown deformations to the structure. Therefore an analysis is performed to determine the safety of the current and future situation according to the European norm and standards. Several non-linear models with different load configurations, varying in spring constant, were made to determine the transmission of forces.

The objective - Use Python to parse the XML data from several non-linear Scia Engineer models, to then combine forces to determine the enveloping tension in the concrete pile foundation.

The piles could then be tested by performing a unity check in sections.

Technologies: SCIA ENGINEER, IDEA STATICA, PYTHON, EXCEL, XML
