• Adding damping values in a dynamic analysis

    I have a pile in a block of sand, with a horizontal load being applied at the top of the pile for 7 seconds, then being released allowing free vibration for 13 seconds. I added 1% damping to the pile and 0.6% damping to the soil materials. After this…
  • Natural frequency, Mesh element size, Rayleigh damping, vertical force on retaining wall model

    Q1: Is there any way to determine natural frequency of Retaining wall soil numerical model from PLAXIS? Q2: How can we see the exact element mesh size in PLAXIS? Q3: I am using Mohr-Coulomb soil model and want to introduce constant Rayleigh damping…
