I am very new to plaxis and i am trying to understand modeling a retaining wall (from my understanding this is done using a plate element), i have a general idea of the steps but the values to input are giving me some trouble. I want to model steel sheet…

Hi all, In the retaining system in sloping ground, the sloping angle is included in the soil pressure through the lateral coefficient and the depth is considered from the top of the retaining system not the top of the sloping ground. My question…

Hi, I am doing my undergraduate thesis on soil nail walls and I have a question about the failure of interfaces. I have derived the strength of the interfaces based on the soil using an Rinter of 0.67. The soil properties are based on the Mohr-Coulomb…

Dear PLAXIS community, I am working on a soldier pile retaining wall with embedded steel piles. I have to use a PLAXIS 3D model for this purpose for different reasons which I do not mention here. I modelled the piles with plate elements and interfaces…

Hi, I have an issue with a PLAXIS 2D model I have been working on. This model looks at the various stages of quay wall construction for a virgin site with fill behind the retaining wall. My fill behind the wall appears to be failing in wedge failure…

Please see the file attached for figures. PDF Q1: For baseline correction of accelerogram I have used two softwares (1) Deep Soil; (2) SeismoSignal Which corrected data should I use for simulation A, B or C (see figures)? Q2: Should I use acceleration…
