Please , can any one help me how to model Accrapods or tetrapods in plaxis 2d ?

I am trying to export plots for structural elements. In one case i prefer to have a distribution plottype instead of deformation. Setting the plottype from python does result in a correct command in the plaxis command lines, however nothing happens. Only…

Dear Sir, I have an excavation model in Plaxis 2D with SBP wall at both sides. We have proposed recharge well on site to prevent the water level drop down. Therefore, In Plaxis model, I defined the pore water calculation type as "phreatic line" with…

Hi, I am doing pseudo static analysis in earth dam to calculate the yield acceleration for different geometry and property configurations. I have questions about the boundary conditions to calculate this value, because my ky_crit change depending if my…

Hi all, I was modelling the volume expansion (due to temperature change) by inputting the volume strain of material directly. But when I consider the tunnel, I cannot input the volume strain value to the lining ( plate material), so it shows the wrong…

I am using the precipitation function to model rainwater infiltration on a slope in PLAXIS. When inputting the q value, do I need to multiply the rainfall (q) with the runoff coefficient (c) first?

Hello, I am designing a cantilever soldier pile as shown in the image. The soldier pile has an embedded length of "D" in concrete and an exposed length of "H-D". The soldier pile has a given section of W 18x32. I plan to approach the problem with…

Hello, I have a couple of questions regarding the embedded beam row: How can I make an embedded beam row impermeable (i.e. so water has to flow around the base of the wall)? When specifying the skin friction in the input program I am assuming…

Hello, I have a question about the plate properties in PLAXIS. In 2D, there is a specific input as "unit weight (w)" and in 3D, there is another specific unit weight as " unit weight (gamma)". I know how to get the unit weight for PLAXIS 3D but for…

Hello, I am designing a cantilever soldier pile as shown in the image. The soldier pile has an embedded length of "D" in concrete and an exposed length of "H-D". The soldier pile has a given section of W 18x32. I know Plaxis does not has a provision…

Dear Support Team/Plaxis We are using Plaxis 2D version 20.04. Got some questions for modelling the HDD installation using line contraction. In two scenarios, the volume loss will be 50% and 100% (full collapse), so we set Cref=volume loss=50% for…

Good morning, I'm trying to define the global stability of an embankment supported by a gravity wall. In this case, I would like to perform an analysis in which the water level must be divided into two segments: one behind the wall at a height equal to…

I want to ask when reviewing soil improvement using PVD, why is the result of the decrease in time using my plaxis 2D when 2 m spacing is faster than 1.5 m spacing and 1.5 m spacing is faster than 1 m spacing?shouldn't pvd spaced closer should be faster…

how to solve error code 103 load advancement procedure fails?

how to solve warning code 5 in plaxis "some stress points violated either the fairlure criterion or tension cut-off criterion" ?

Buongiorno, devo eseguire il calcolo per valutare la pressione massima su una piastra. Tale piastra, a sostegno di uno scavo, verrà eseguita in cantiere con dei blindaggi meccanici realizzati con doppia rotaia di guida e pannelli. Come bisogna modellare…

Hi all, Can anyone give some advice about unstable situations due to soil collapse. I mean, can anyone recommend a way to calculate safety factors (<1.0) if you got a collapse in plastic phase using only plaxis results (without a limit equilibrium model…

Hi there, My university already has a licence for plaxis2D, but I need the Barcelona basic model (BBM) dll for the soil and water coupling phase. Can you share with me the "Barcelona basic model (BBM) dll" for plaxis 2D? Cheers,

Hi all, To calculate the ks, we can provide prescribed displacement of 25mm on the footing in Plaxis 2D and get the bearing pressure for that and calculate the ks. I have some questions regarding ks. 01. Based on the Bowles equation, he requested…

Im doing a dynamic analysis of machine foundation with various freqencies. Im using geocell as reinforcement in 2D (by using ECA). but after reinforcement there was no shift in resonance. Definite reduction in aplitudes were observed but at same frequency…

Hello there, I was trying to predict the settlement of layered soils due to the groundwater lowering. My guess is that, in order to model the consolidation process, I need to apply a flow function, modelling the hydraulic head lowering over time,…

Greetings to the forum members. I have two questions to ask. 1. I was trying to simulate the undrained loading and consolidation process of a circular skirted foundation and compare the results with previous research. Interaction between the foundation…

I want to simulate a axially loaded pile (2d or 3d does not matter). Initially I want to apply only gravity. 1. I want extract a stress file (stress for every gauss point in every element). Is it possible? How do I extract it? 2. Modify the stresses externally…
