• Load-Settlement curve reading

    Dear community, I'm trying to find the ultimate bearing capacity of a shallow footing in PLAXIS 3D. The analysis is made as Load Control: A weightless plate element (2x2) is created with a point load of 10,000 kN at its center (shear failure guaranteed…

  • Plate element extrusion in calculation: Is it actually embedded?

    Dear community, when modelling a shallow footing using the plate element in PLAXIS(2D or 3D), does the extrusion of the thin plate makes it actually embedded in the soil leading to an equivalent surcharge of q=gamma x Df as shown in Case (A) below? Or…

  • PLAXIS 3D Bearing Capacity (Prescribed Load vs Prescribed displacement)

    Hi, I would like to determine the bearing capacity of mat foundation in PLAXIS 3D. I have tried two methods, one where I applied a surface displacement along the z axis (free along the x and y axis), the other where I applied a prescribed surface load…

  • basically loss of stability in Plaxis 3D

    Hi, is it possible to calculate a basically loss of stability as overturning, sliding and bearing failure of the foundation in Plaxis 3D?

  • Plate loading test for shallow foundation

    Hi all! I am wandering that PLAXIS 2d is able to do the plate loading test for shallow foundation or not? Lack some literatures for this. I want to know how to do the loading test by adding some loads to the foundation and how to find the ultimate bearing…

  • PLAXIS3D - Laterally Loaded Pile Bearing Capacity

    Hi! I am trying to find the lateral bearing capacity of a pile. It is modelled as a volume element, being laterally displaced by 0.2m. Given soil parameters of strength (s_u) 25 kPa, pile length (L) 2.5m and diameter (d) 0.1m - theoretically arrive…

  • How to embedded a shallow foundation in Plaxis 2d (e.g 0.5m)

    Hi Dears, I have tried many way to excavate or add a plate at a certain depth in plaxis to simulate the embedement depth, but none of them gave a reasonable answer. Is there any one can help of how to embedded a foting in Plaxis 2d? I could not…

  • Size effect on modelling Plaxis 2d

    Hi, Why when the model size have effect on the results even for huge dimensions? known that no deformation is happening below 4B of the footing. Actually I am trying to do sensitive Analysis for my then I used 100*100 model size just to see if there…

  • Reached total force Fy- Prescribed displacement over a footing on piles example.

    Dear all, I'm trying to find the pressure applied over a footing on piles that leads to a displacement of 0.025 m. The method of Prescribed displacement is used and the reached total force Fy is checked once the calculation is done as shown in the following…

  • Bearing Capacity of Shallow Foundation - Plaxis 2d

    Hi Dears, I am trying to do comparison between my hand calculation and Plaxis 2d. I face a problem in how to embedded a shallow foundation (i.e. circular footing) in soil. This is what I found everyone calculating it in Plaxis However, I want…

  • Bearing capacity of shallow foundation

    Dear community, this is regarding the calculation of the bearing capacity of shallow foundation. I would like to know your opinion on the best approach that yields the most realistic values. Can you provide me with documented examples that have a step…

  • How do i model footing to measure the bearing capacity and consolidation using PLAXIS 3D V21

    Hello. I am new to PLAXIS 3d V21. I have been learning PLAXIS 3D V20 which seemed to be much simpler than the current V21. I wanted to design a shallow footing setting on the ground surface. I want to measure the bearing capacity of the ground and…

  • Stimulation of allowable bearing pressure of square footing from the Plaxis 2D analysis

    Hi all, In order to find the allowable bearing capacity of the footing, we can use prescribed displacement (25mm) and fins as shown below. But here it represents the strip footing as length inside the model is infinite. Based on the pressure…

  • Modeling Prandtl 1920 undrained bearing capacity condition in Plaxis 3D and 2D

    Hello, I was trying to model Prandtl 1920 standard case for the bearing capacity untill failure of strip footing stands on the surface of undrianed clay soil with Eu = 200 Su , Su = 100 kn/m2, and vu = 0.499. The expected value is 5.14 x Su. The value…
