• 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…

  • properties of line drains

    Very urgent, Can I use Line drains to simulate the action of a sand drain in PLAXIS 3D? If so where can I change the properties like diameter, permeability and radius of influence of a line drain? kindly help me with this issue. Thanks in…

  • Total discharge in line drains

    Hello, I am not quite sure how should I calculate the total discharge in a line drain on plaxis 3D. Each drain is divided in several segments depending on the meshing, each segment have 3 nodes with the same Total discharge (in the drain table in the…
