I am very glad to write this post because last time I got a benchmark problem regarding embankment consolidation problem over PVD-treated soft soil " Comparison of Drainage Line Elements in PLAXIS 2D and 3D.....". After that, I successfully published…

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…

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…
