hello sir, I want to model a soil under cyclic load with the value of cyclic load 275 kN and 2 Hz frequency. in this model the load cycles used for cyclic loading is 10,000. how can i model this in PLAXIS 2D? kindly help me.
thank you.
Dear Shaija,
Please check an example where we apply a dynamic load using a Harmonic signal: https://communities.bentley.com/products/geotech-analysis/w/wiki/45566/plaxis-2d-tutorial-14-dynamic-analysis-of-a-generator-on-an-elastic-foundation
The number of cycles to include in the analysis depend on the time interval used in combination with the applied load multiplier.
