• Displacements for factor of safety.

    I need to verify the displacements for the factor of safety obtained in safety analysis (defined when ΣMsf is more or less constant, as showed in the plaxis tutorial manual). However, the manual makes it clear that the maximum displacements obtained are…
  • SRF drops after peak and then raises again until stability

    When performing safety analysis on Plaxis the following behavior is happening: The SRF reaches a peak and then drop. After that, there is a continuous raising until the line stabilize. This indicates an error in the model or is a possible outcome…
  • Critical slip surface in PLAXIS

    Hello, How can I find my critical slip surface in PLAXIS by SSR (shear strength reduction)? Regards, Mariele
  • c/Phi reduction or Safety calculation with structural elements

    I guess this may have been asked before but i could not find a satisfactory answer. Here we go. I understand that pile (embedded beam row) can be molded as both elastic and elasto-plastic material with limit N and M. When modeled as elastic material…
