High excess pore pressure at particular nodes during consolidation analysis in Plaxis 3D

Omkar Sugade — Mon, 18 Jul 2022 10:50:19 GMT

Hi,

I am getting very high excess pore pressures at particular nodes beneath the pile cap, adjacent to the embedded beams as shown below,. This is causing very slow convergence and excess pwp is not changing after particular point. (fig 1 - phase before, fig 2 - interested phase)

The pile cap is a volume element with Linear elastic material (non-porous)

The permeability of clayey soil beneath the pile cap volume is 2.0 E-11 m/s. (all directions)

Around pile cap there is granular fill with K = 1.0 E-06 m/s and clay with K = 2.0 E-11 m/s (all directions)

If I increase permeability of clay by 100 times I can run the model properly, but we are expecting very low permeability as stated.

What could be the reason of such spurious excess pwp at such location?

Thanks for any help in advance.

Changing properties of multiple connections with Python

Omkar Sugade — Mon, 04 Apr 2022 14:45:00 GMT

Hi,

How can I change connection properties of multiple connections using a loop?

For e.g. I can change property of a single connection as : g_i.Connection_1.Translation1 = "Free"

Thank you in advance,

Kind regards, Omkar.
