  • A problem retrieve data from soiltest by python

    Hi, I developed a code below to retrieve data (Shear_strain_xy & Shear_stress_xy) from the DSS test of the Soiltest module in Plaxis 2D Ultimate (academic version). This code was already working, but after upgrading to the latest version of Plaxis …

  • Deriving soil hardening model parameters - drained vs undrained tests

    Hi, I'm scheduling triaxial tests on silty sand (SM) and while I understand that consolidated drained (CD) test is required to obtain the soil hardening parameters, the test may take a long time due to the fine content in the soil sample. Therefore…

  • 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…

  • Why my question does not appear when I ask?

    I sent you many questions but I could not see my questions in the list of questions.

  • Tunnel _ volume strain input

    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…

  • When inputting the q value for precipitation in PLAXIS, do I need to multiply the rainfall (q) with the runoff coefficient (c) first?

    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?

  • Difference between undrained A and undrained B

    Hello All, In PLAXIS, I saw three types of undrained analysis : A,B and C. When I define the material as undrained, my thought is the soil is in an undrained state at the beginning of the analysis. I understand undrained "A" is for effective stress…

  • Hardening soil model for rock layers for a deep excavation project.

    We are doing independent check / PE review of an deep excavation project, which majority of the excavation are in Rocks. The designer used Hardening soil model to model the Rock layers. My questions are: 1. is it proper to use HS model to model the…

  • construction of an embankment on subgrade reinforced by stone columns covered with geosynthetic

    Hello, My project is about construction of an embankment on subgrade reinforced by stone columns covered with geosynthetic...so i need to know what's the phases of calculation required...is it the same of the stone columns without geosynthetic? Or should…

  • Bored piles+ground anchors in plaxis?

    Dear plaxis users and geotechnical engineers, When using plaxis to design permanent and temporary ground anchors+bored piles in plaxis 2D, the obtained values of moment, normal and shear forces are supposed to be multiplied with the out of plane distance…

  • Hardening Soil Model-value of power m

    We are using Plaxis to assess the settlement of an embankment on firm to stiff clay soils in which the long term settlement is critical for an acceptable design. We are adopting the Hardening Soil Model with Small Strain Soil Model and are a bit confused…
