• Rainfall analysis - saturation and poropressures - infiltration in dry stack tailings

    We are analyzing the saturation and pore pressures in a dry stockpile, where we want to simulate 15 rainy days and 15 dry days. We expected that during the rains a more saturated surface layer would form, and that this surface saturation would decrease…
  • Defining different infiltration for different area in a model

    Dear I am modelling the rainfall in a specific area in the Plaxis 3D FEM and defined the polygon to determine the rainfall in that area. The specification I used in different phases are as follow: Initial phase: Calculation type: Flow only Pore…
  • Defining different infiltration for different area in one model

    Dear I modeled a real region and import data from the point cloud data into Plaxis. I defined the “surface groundwater flow boundary condition” to define different infiltration for different areas. The infiltration behavior is set to “time dependent…
  • Define two different precipitation (rainfall) for two different zones in one model

    Dear Could there be any possibility to define 2 different precipitation (rainfall) for two different zones in the model? Could I distinguish two different zones in the model and define different precipitation for them separately? Thanks for your…
  • Debris Flow Modeling, Rainfall

    Dear Referring the Plaxis manual and figure 1, we can define the precipitation in the sloped area and by considering the coupled flow-deformation analyses, we can define the deformation on the sloped area and, also, the pressure on the wall of the structure…
  • Fully coupled flow-deformation analysis.

    Hi, I am trying to analyse the effect of transient infiltration on slope stability. As an initial condition to generate pore water pressure, I applied a small flux for a long duration (about 5 years) until the changes in pore water pressure became negligible…
  • Rainfall infiltration simulation using PLAXIS 2D

    Hi, I am trying to simulate rainfall infiltration in PLAXIS 2D. When I assign constant infiltration rate (e.g. 0.1m/day) with coupled flow-deformation analysis. it takes too much time and at the end it gives error. Also, when I do analysis without…
