  • Medel piled raft foundation with volume pile + plate element (for lateral loading)

    Dear All I have modeled piled raft foundation which piles modeled as volume pile while raft modeled as plate element. To simulate soil - structure interaction, I created interface to both raft and piles. In my understanding, correct me if I'm wrong…
  • Bending moment for complex foundation

    Hi, I'm making a base for a lattice mast in Plaxis 3D. The foundation takes the loads from the mast at four points. What is the best way to make bending moments Mx, My, Mz at all points?
  • Soil Nailing - Rock Bolt or Pile

    Good morning. I have seen some people model a soil nailing problem using embedded beam with pile behavior and others with rock bolt behavior. In which cases should a soil nailing problem be modeled considering a pile behavior for embedded beams?
  • Horizontal Load of Embedded Rod

  • Factor of Safety from Command Line

    To perform a relibility based analysis of a 3D slope model, I have created a 3D FE-Model in Plaxis 3D and in the next step I would like to couple this with an external software that changes the soil parameters and starts the safty analysis in Plaxis.…
  • Plaxis 3D_How to model post-tension concrete slab that acts as permanent support for retention system?

    Hi All, I am working on the analysis job for an excavation work? So far I have proceeded to the completion of excavation that has been temporarily supported by struts? I am about to activate the ground floor level slab and deactivate the struts…
  • How to model the permeant support for completed excavation without drawing a actual ground floor level slab (plate)?

    Hello, I am working on a simulation job for a excavation project. There is only one basement level, Bulk excavtion level is only about 3.2m below ground surface level, except that a local deeper excavation is conducted to accomodate the lift pit and…
  • Bug In plaxis 3D

    Every time I am running the software this is showing. how to solve this issue ?
  • Plaxis 3d - steel cap

    Hi ! I would like to ask, if I model a temporary deep excavation using plate elements with one row of temporary steel strut's with cap, should I increase the moment of inertia of the cap according to parallel axis theorem (Steiner)? Standard…
  • 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?
  • about failing of soil sample

    i am analysing the soil for moving load in plaxis 3d. each time after analysis load moves on the soil, but the movement is not that smooth and load seems like punching the soil.even on changing the soil properties this problem continues. also how to…
  • Some questions about the parameters of plate element

    I have the following three questions about the input of the plate's unit weight. (1) If the groundwater level is -0.5m, the model has two layers of soil, the depth of the first layer is 1m, γunsat=17, γsat=18, and the depth of the second layer is 2m…
  • 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…
  • Picos [204] incorrect solution, slow convergence when boundary and flow conditions are changed in PVD installed soil

    I wanted to create a graph of excess pore pressure vs radial/horizontal distance for an MCC soil model at a particular depth installed with prefabricated vertical drains. To simulate the effect of smear, transition and undisturbed zones around the PVD…
  • The related problems of controlled caisson

    As shown in the picture, I am simulating a suspended caisson, and I want to obtain a suspension force that will keep the caisson stationary at any depth. At present, my method is to add line displacement at the bottom of the caisson, but if I specify…
  • Embedded beam in Tension

    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…
  • Line drains and varying permeability in the horizontal direction in a soil model

    I am trying to simulate the effect of the installation of PVDs on soft soil (soil model used: MCC). The installation of PVD (in this case, a line drain) causes disturbance to the soil and creates three zones around the soil. A smear zone, a transition…
  • Simulation of caisson excavation and subsidence process

    1. When I simulated the process of caisson excavation and subsidence, there would be a cycle process of excavation-sinking-excavation, which is embodied in plaxis3D as freezing the soil inside the caisson and changing the soil material at the position…
  • resetting the displacement to zero(all phases)

    如果我想计算地面的沉降,出于某种原因,我必须在每个阶段结束时将位移重置为零。我想知道 Σ u_total 位移(重置)与最后阶段的总位移 u 之间是否存在相关性或相等性,而无需将位移重置为零。
  • Piled-Raft Modelling in PLAXIS 3D

    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…
