  • How to model slope protected with geo-cell and having geocomposite drain and horizontal drain for the drainage in Plaxis 2D

    Hi all, Any idea how to model this one in Plaxis 2D and what type of analyses are needed to do for stability check of the slope proteced by geo-cell and having surface and horizontal drains? Thanks.

  • Drain: Factors depend Groundwater head drawdown

    Hi all, I modeled a drain with a normal behavior (starting from y=15m to y=12m). I provided the groundwater head of the drain as h=12m. I did the steady state flow analysis and thought the groundwater would be drawdown to h=12m from h=15m. But in the…

  • 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…

  • Find water flow through weep hole in retaining wall

    Hi all, I need to provide the diameter, length and distance of the weep hole in the retaining wall. For that reason I used flow analysis by providing a retaining wall and drain but water flow around the retaining wall not through the drain, Can anyone…

  • Large Displacement in Consolidation Phase

    Greetings to whoever reading this, I'm modeling construction of a pre-loading embankment on soft soil, to be improved by pre-loading and PVD's, to get the ultimate consolidation settlement and the time needed for it under the effect of the embankment…

  • 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…
