• Shallow foundation - Soil springs

    Hello, how can we neglect the soil springs between the shallow foundation and the soil beneath it in case where the foundation is sitting on piles and the design requires that all loads are transferred exclusively to the piles? If it's by defining a dummy…
  • Piled raft foundation, load carried by piles

    Hi everyone, Is there a shortcut to see the total load carried by the piles in a piled raft foundation on Plaxis 3D? Thanks,
  • Piled Raft Foundation

    Hi, I modeled a “Piled Raft Foundation” on “Saturated Soft Clay” soil (Mohr - Coulomb); under combined loading (Uplift “510 kN” + Lateral “130kN”). But in output results (Deformed Mesh); it seems that adjacent soils of Raft moved up along it too…
