I am analyzing the soil layer in PLAXIS 2D in which 100 kN static load is applied. when I increase the depth of soil the deflection of soil is also increased. but in practical condition there should be the depth at which the load influence will not exist. why the PLAXIS 2D showed different behavior?
Your query is similar to what was asked in a previous post here: https://communities.bentley.com/products/geotech-analysis/f/forum/241213/size-effect-on-modelling-plaxis-2d/751773
