Hello,
Can anyone please help as how can I model " lateral soil slippage at the sides of the pile" using embedded beam in PLAXIS.
Thank you,
Faisal
Dear Faisal,
This feature is automatically included with every PLAXIS calculation. Soil can "flow" around the embedded beam elements and you can specify if the lateral capacity is unlimited or not via the material properties.
You can find below a link to a validation done before the lateral capacity could be controlled (thus unlimited):https://communities.bentley.com/products/geotech-analysis/w/plaxis-soilvision-wiki/46081/validation-of-plaxis-embedded-piles-for-lateral-loading
