    Bearing capacity of a circular footing

    Application PLAXIS 2D
    PLAXIS 3D
    Version PLAXIS 2D
    PLAXIS 3D
    Date created 12 November 2012
    Date modified 12 November 2012

    This document describes an example that has been used to verify the ultimate limit state capabilities of PLAXIS. The problem involves the bearing capacity of a smooth circular footing on frictional soil.

    Used version:

    • PLAXIS 2D: 2018.00 | 2016.01 | 2015.00
    • PLAXIS 3D: 2018.00 | 2016.00 | AE.00

    Hint: This validation needs considerable amount of disk space. Make sure you have at least 150 gigabytes of free disk space.
