Dear people. Please help me about how can i design secant pile in plaxis 2d. I use the embeeded row for the secant pile? Is it correct?
Hi Muhammad
The embedded beam is meant for piles and similar embedded beam-like elements that are not directly connected with soil in between the piles. For a secant pile wall, the piles are touching or overlapping. In that case, you can better model that with plates and determine the equivalent (per meter out of plane) properties for this.
