Hi all, I have to define the soil with ko = 0.8. Since the soil layer is not horizontal I need to use gravity loading to generate stress at the start. horizontal stress can be generated using poisson's ratio (v) in gravity loading (k = v / (1-v).…

Hello, I have modeled a simply supported beam in Plaxis-2D and 3D, and by using a Poisson's ratio of zero the deflections are similar to theoretical values (and checked it vs. Abaqus). However, by considering a Poisson's ratio of 0.3 the displacements…
