• Displacements for factor of safety.

    I need to verify the displacements for the factor of safety obtained in safety analysis (defined when ΣMsf is more or less constant, as showed in the plaxis tutorial manual). However, the manual makes it clear that the maximum displacements obtained are…
  • Displacement vs different time does not match in tutorial 8

    From tutorial 8: construction of a road embankment, create curves of displacement uy and time. At the first consolidation (phase 2), the time interval is set at 300 days and 20 days to compare. The question are: - Why do 2 curves not match each other…
  • fixed issue [377180] regarding displacements not clear

    When a concrete roof slab (plate) is just installed in Plaxis the horizontal phase displacement of this plate is aprox 0.2 mm and the difference along the length of the plate is aprox. 0.02 mm, see figure below. This is according to our exceptation. …
  • Tunnel _ volume strain input

    Hi all, I was modelling the volume expansion (due to temperature change) by inputting the volume strain of material directly. But when I consider the tunnel, I cannot input the volume strain value to the lining ( plate material), so it shows the wrong…
  • Energy Pile _ thermal axial stress

    Hi all, I am modelling the energy pile behaviours under different thermal operations ( by setting the different thermal boundary conditions to pile boundaries to see the temperature-induced volume change of pile and soil). For the initial installation…
  • How to model bedrock

    Hi! I am modelling a foundation on blasted rock (thickness about 4 m) on top of bedrock. How do I easily and best model the bedrock? Currently I have modelled a fixed line displacement as bedrock, and I have added interfaces (r_inter=0,8) between blasted…
  • Displacement at selected calculation step

    Hi everyone, Thank you in advance for helping out. I understand that the incremental displacement by default is the displacement at the last step of the current calculation phase. My question is how to get the displacement value for each calculation…
  • Error code 101- Back analysis

    in computing back analysis of failure case, the validation in this model was SF less than 1. when I decreased the GSI (because the method material was Hoek-Brown), it resulted in the error code 101 in plastic computation. How could I validate the site…
  • Displacement fixities are not applied to isolated beam elements

  • How can I avoid displacements in the corners of my model, to observe the displacements in the area of my structure.

    I reduced the model to remove that area but displacements continue to appear at the edges that avoid evaluating the structure.
