I am currently modeling the reinforcement of a tailings dam. I'm using the Hardening Soil Model for the foundation materials and we are running a fully coupled flow-deformation analysis. We are observing that during the reiforcement phases the model is…

Hello, I have come across a problem where the raft foundation is resting on clayey silt. Ground water table is not encountered and soil at the site has a free swell index of 140-210 at 2.5 to 5m depth from EGL and foundation is at 3m below EGL. what…

Hello everyone, My first question here in the forum! I'm modeling a set of foundations on weathered granite and I'm using the Hoek-Brown (HB) model. Everything in the material model works perfectly fine, however, three questions regarding the material…

Hi all, I was modelling the volume expansion (due to temperature change) by inputting the volume strain of material directly. But when I consider the tunnel, I cannot input the volume strain value to the lining ( plate material), so it shows the wrong…

I give -20 kN/m (point load) on my shallow foundation but when i calculate it. there is no any Fy apllied to my project ps. I activate oint load already Thank you

#PREdesign #Firstdesign #not-final-design Hey, I'd like to back to give additional informations about my last question. As i have already said, i'm geologist, student in M2 geosciences for energy at Paris Cergy University. For my master thesis,…

Hi all, In order to find the allowable bearing capacity of the footing, we can use prescribed displacement (25mm) and fins as shown below. But here it represents the strip footing as length inside the model is infinite. Based on the pressure…

I defined a space which represents air in foundation by using polycurve. But PLAXIS-3D is a finite element model which water freely does not pass thorugh it. As a considering Plaxis asks me to define an material model and properties, how can i perform…

Hi, I am a masterstudent in Construction engineering and currently working on my thesis. I am trying to make a Plaxis 2D model for a soilmix-element with a load-bearing capacity. During the calculation I get the following comment: 'Not enough load…

I'm trying to undertake cyclic loading on a torpedo anchor in PLAXIS. In order to understand how to model cyclic loading on PLAXIS I tried the "PLAXIS 2D Tutorial 08: Cyclic vertical capacity and stiffness of circular underwater footing" (via the link…
