I’m interested in modeling a deep tunnel. When I activate the embedded beams rows, the Mstage remains constant but displacements continue to evolve.

Hi, I am trying to model the dowels between the structural plates of central wall in a tunnel as embedded beam. The plates are vertically standing with no contact with the soil. Is this a correct modelling approach to move forward with. I understand…

Hello, this regarding the true input of the modulus of elasticity "E" for an embedded beam element, either 2D or 3D. When using this feature for modelling a concrete structure (reinforced concrete piles, grouted nail...), it seems that there are doubts…

Hi, there. I want to ask a question regarding piled-raft modelling in PLAXIS 3D. Currently, I am modelling the raft as a volume and the piles as embedded beam. As in the theory stated by Poulos (1994), the load-settlement curve of the piled-raft foundation…

Hi, I am trying to evaluate the slope reinforced by a row of piles under dynamic conditions (earthquake data). I want to obtain maximum lateral displacement v/s dynamic time under lateral loading condition. So what should be the boundary condition of…

Hello, Is it possible to create a model and vary the soil parameters with respect to time. I want to create a shallow pile foundation model and vary the soil parameters with respect to time to simulate wet-dry cycles. The aim is to capture the varying…

Hi All, Is it possible to model open ended steel sigma "Σ" pile sections or PFC sections in Plaxis 3D?

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

Hello there I have a model contains a lot of embedded beams and i want to get coordinates x, y, z of each point of beams. Can someone please tell, h ow i can get them? Сonsidring large number of embedded beams in the model, i prefer do this using…

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, Please, i'm BELOUAD Rabah, student in M2 Geosciences of energy at Paris Cergy University. I'd like use Plaxis to design the anchor pile of floating windfarm for my master thesis but i didn't use it before, if someone could help me in this…

Hi, I am having some issues in obtaining realistic loads on Volume Elements using the Centerline tool on PLAXIS 3D. I'm modelling a Concrete Secant Pile Wall with Steel profile in the stiffer piles. To simplify the model, I have modelled the piles…

Hello, I want to model face bolts in tunneling with a length of 12 meter with embedded beam elements. I have 100 calculation phases with an advancement of 1 meter per phase. So have to shorten the embedded beams every calculation phase. I divide the…

Hello, in the PLAXIS bulletin "Preliminary 3D Modelling of Structural behaviour of Face Bolting and Umbrella Arch in Tunneling" face bolte were moddeled with embedded beams and spring elements. In this paper, no major differences between these two methods…

Hi,I want to model micropile group by using embedded beam elements in PLAXIS 3D v2020 but I don’t know how I can calculate BASE RESISTANCE and AXIAL SKIN RESISTANCE for micropiles. Thank you very much for your help.

Hi all, PLAXIS3D question: I am wanting to model several piles embedded in the ground, with the upper portion of the pile having an outer sleeve (steel casing with annulus being a void) around it so that it is not loaded by soil pushing on it laterally…

Here raft is modelled as a volume element and piles as embedded pile element, and a negative interface is given between raft and soli. Please kindly help as the results are coming same for the pile head connection condition.

Hello PLAXIS team, I currently using PLAXIS 3D V20 to work on a complex model that I created using 3D 2017 in the past and every time I mesh the model I get a bunch of warning message saying that I have small embedded beam elements generated This…
