• Acceleration and Structural Force Difference Between the Piles Modeled with Embedded Beam and Plate

    Dear sir/madam, I'm studying on a dynamic analysis model consist of nonhomogeneous soil layers improved with stone columns and rock socketed piles connected to raft foundation. I'm using two models: 1) Piles modeled with embedded beam row 2) Piles…

  • How to model capping beam in Plaxis 2D?

    Hi All, I would like to model a sheet pile wall to secure a railway embankment in Plaxis 2D. For the analysis of the deformations, I would also like to model the influence of a reinforced concrete capping beam on the sheet pile wall. My question is…
  • Modeling Soldier pile wall in PLAXIS 2D

    Hello everyone, I am modeling a soldier pile (880mm hole and W530x92) and lagging system in PLAXIS 2D. What I did was I calculated the equivalent moment of inertia (E) and cross section area (A) of the composite section assuming steel as the base material…
