• How can I modelling a pile - anchor system in Plaxis 2d?

    Hi everyone. I try to do a model where have a pile (as embedded beam row). Part of the pile is anchored in depth, and superior part works as wall. In this part have 2 anchor rows as node-to-node anchor, but the connection dont works for a intermediate…
  • Modelling Struts with node-to-node or fixed end anchor

    Dear all, I wonder which structural element is more proper to model the strut behavior in symmetrical and unsymmetrical excavations. Firstly I created a deep excavation model to compare the strut forces, which you can see below. For the first analysis…
  • (For Deep Excavation) How or what form should i build the diagonal strut (/knee strut) in ELS

    Hi, I am building the ELS model in Plaxis 3D. I am wondering what form (beam, node to node anchor) should I apply for the strut, which required to preloading. (I think it should be node-node due to prestressing) But there are 2 diagonal struts connected…
