  • Dynamic analysis-tunnel lining

    Hello, I am running a dynamic analysis model in Plaxis to find a vertical displacement of the pipeline in liquefiable soil, but it takes one day and is still running in 11.21 seconds. Is it normal for this kind of analysis in Plaxis? If so, anyone could…

  • Displacement vs different time does not match in tutorial 8

    From tutorial 8: construction of a road embankment, create curves of displacement uy and time. At the first consolidation (phase 2), the time interval is set at 300 days and 20 days to compare. The question are: - Why do 2 curves not match each other…

  • 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…

  • lateral soil slippage at the sides of the pile

    Hello, Can anyone please help as how can I model " lateral soil slippage at the sides of the pile" using embedded beam in PLAXIS. Thank you, Faisal

  • water pore pressure

    hello. I want to ask, previously at this time I was modeling soil improvement using the PVD method with preloading, but when I saw the pore water pressure output in the middle of the soft clay layer the result was like this. if it's like this why is my…

  • Plaxis Python API - Change parameters of soil materials

    Hi, I am trying to change the soil parameters of a soil already present in the Plaxis Model using Python and V22 (new material database). How do you have to address the parameter in order to change the value? For example, if I try to change E50Ref…
