• Piled-Raft Modelling in PLAXIS 3D

    Hi, there. I want to ask a question regarding piled-raft modelling in PLAXIS 3D. Currently, I am modelling the raft as a volume and the piles as embedded beam. As in the theory stated by Poulos (1994), the load-settlement curve of the piled-raft foundation…
  • Effect of raft thickness on rotation in piled raft foundations

    Hello, I have modeled a piled raft foundation using Plaxis 3D and increased the thickness of the raft (plate element) to investigate its effect on the foundation behavior. However, the results showed that increasing the thickness of the raft caused…
