• Soil model to study PVD on soft clay

    Which of the following will be the best-suited soil model to study the shear strength gain from the ground improvement by prefabricated vertical drains? Can anyone compare the Modified Cam Clay (MCC) model and Soft Soil Model to find the better one for…

  • Shear strength profile at a line cross section?

    How can I create a profile of shear strength along x direction at a particular depth of my soil model (MCC) in PLAXIS 2D?

  • Consolidation or Fully coupled flow deformation for excess pore pressure variation due to line drain

    Which of the above analyses is better for finding the variation of excess pore pressure with radial distance from a line drain?

  • Excess pore water pressure is non-zero at the soil-drain interface

    I installed a PVD (line drain) on MCC soil model and completed a consolidation analysis. In the output, the excess pore pressure at the drain is non-zero. I have used very fine mesh for this study, taking the smallest element as possible. How can I make…

  • Picos [204] incorrect solution, slow convergence when boundary and flow conditions are changed in PVD installed soil

    I wanted to create a graph of excess pore pressure vs radial/horizontal distance for an MCC soil model at a particular depth installed with prefabricated vertical drains. To simulate the effect of smear, transition and undisturbed zones around the PVD…

  • Line drains and varying permeability in the horizontal direction in a soil model

    I am trying to simulate the effect of the installation of PVDs on soft soil (soil model used: MCC). The installation of PVD (in this case, a line drain) causes disturbance to the soil and creates three zones around the soil. A smear zone, a transition…

  • permeability for smear zone around PVD in plaxis 2D v21?

    How to input permeability for smear zone around PVD in plaxis 2D v21?
