• Define strength parameters as functions of strains.

    Hi, is it possible to define a strength parameter (such as cohesion and friction angle) as a function of the deviatoric strains? There are two acceptable options: 1. The parameters are updated along with the strains during the analyses. 2. The parameters…
  • How Strain is converted into Displacement (Purpose is to find the initial value)

    Hi all, This may be the basic question but need to know that. Question => Strain is the change in the dimension over the initial one , so it is provided as the percentage or fraction. In Plaxis stress will be derived from the induced strain and the…
  • PLease tell ,how we can get tensile strain at some point ?

    I am modelling flexible pavement in plaxis, I want to find the tensile strain at bottom of bitumen layer. please tell me
  • Shear Strain vs Deviatoric Strain

    Hi All, I am looking to extract shear strains from a model to compare with shear box test data and determine if my ground will be subject to any strain softening. I believe the output cartesian strain (gammaxy) is the shear strain I'm interested in…
