Hello PLAXIS team,
I am modeling a 3x3 m footing on surface of cohesionless soil with friction angle = 30 deg, E = 20 MPa and Poisson ratio = 0.33. The bearing capacity from the PLAXIS model is 3300 kN at 175 mm deformation, and it will increase further up to 4500 kN or more with the increase of deformation. However, the calculated bearing capacity using classical Meyerhof or Hansen bearing capacity equation is about 2600 kN. It is a very simple model but unable to predict the classical bearing capacity equation. Are you able to review and comment if I send my PLAXIS file?
Regards,
Dear Abraham,
Sure, please send your request and PLAXIS 3D file via submitting a service request https://apps.bentley.com/srmanager/ProductSupport
Please use the Pack Project option to send files.
Not able to access the service request link. Am I able to send you the onedrive link to the file. I also submitted the file already using the "File" in the above.
I submitted the PLAXIS file through "Communities Secure File Upload". The OneDrive link also provided here:
