Title: Coffee Corner: Geotechnical Analysis - Combined analysis of Rapid Draw Down and slope stability in PLAXIS 2D

Date: Tuesday, March 14, 2023

Time: 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM Central European Time

Presenters: Faseel Khan, Vasileios Basas

Fluctuations in water levels have a significant influence on the slope stability of natural slopes or water-retaining structures such as embankments. When dealing with a simple phreatic water level, a complex transient dewatering scheme or a seasonal water variation, PLAXIS provides many options to assist with such modelling. In this month’s Geotechnical Analysis Coffee Corner, we will:

present key aspects of conventional and unsaturated soil behavior in PLAXIS
discuss key PLAXIS concepts for modelling groundwater flow in saturated and unsaturated soils
present the concept of a fully coupled flow-deformation analysis
examine how to perform a slope stability analysis during and after rapid drawdown
