I have an appointment, I am evaluating a dam, my question is: can I know the displacements that happen when reaching the minimum safety factor, because the scale of values that appears in the Safety legend does not have a physical meaning.
Dear Stefanos,
If I do a previous Plastic analysis with the pseudoestatoc aceleration, the displacements values obtained will be the displacements for the seismic represented by the seismic coefficient?
Dear Juan,
A similar question has been asked before in our forum. You can find it here:https://communities.bentley.com/products/geotech-analysis/f/plaxis-soilvision-forum/195789/displacements-obtained-from-pseudostatic-slope-analysis/581864#581864
As a side note, in case you have not discovered it we have a detailed article with examples here:https://communities.bentley.com/products/geotech-analysis/w/plaxis-soilvision-wiki/48472/fundamentals-of-pseudo-static-analysis-in-plaxis
