Dear Vy Ngo, As this post goes beyond PLAXIS functionality into the design, I have switched it to a discussion. In this way, any fellow geotechnical engineers can comment and share their thoughts on your project.

Dear Vu Ngo, Sand boiling is caused by the volume reduction of the sand when it is shaked. Liquefaction occurs typically in loose sands: when the loose sands is being shaken it densifies, hence the void ratio decreases and therefore the pore water gets…

Dear Vu Ngo, The proposed times steps and substeps by PLAXIS are based on a couple of criteria: - The time step should not be larger than the time step used in the input signal (using signal from file) - The time step should divide the smallest sine…

Dear Abdirahman, When using the geogrid feature it is required to use the Update Mesh option to take membrane effects into account. This way it is possible to model second-order effects: due to the differential lateral displacements of the geogrid…
