Hello, I am working on a laterally loaded H-pile, and trying to model it in Plaxis 2D. I am having difficulty converting the 3D to an equivalent 2D pile with the same elastic properties. any suggestion about which element I can use (ex: plate, embedded beam ) and any advice regarding the Parameters? and would be appreciated if there are any helpful resources for modeling such a system. thanks
Hello Abdelrahman,
Thank you for your question. As your post addresses all the geotechnical engineers doing design, I will switch this to a discussion.
In this way, anyone who wants to share can do so freely.
Thanks Stefanos
