On Tuesday June 24 at 15.00 CET (9.00 EST) there will be a free Webinar on Foundation Decarbonization and Reuse.
The next edition of the International Conference on Foundation Decarbonization and Reuse, which will be organized in March 2026, will feature a new event: a workshop on software tools to help the user to minimize the carbon footprint of foundations and to assess the options to reuse existing foundations. The next webinar will focus on the requirements to make software a useful tool in that endeavor.
To assist with decarbonization, the key requirement is straightforward: the software should be able to define the foundation with the smallest carbon footprint. For reuse, however, defining the requirements is not as simple. Obviously, it should recalculate the bearing capacity of the foundation as designed. But should it also generate options to supplement those existing foundations if that bearing capacity is inadequate? Or should it merely detail user-defined options? During the next webinar which Gerald Verbeek will explore these issues with Thomas Zwaenepoel, Christopher Nelsen and Jacco Haasnoot.
More information and registration can be found on the conference website.
