  • Plate loading test for shallow foundation

    Hi all! I am wandering that PLAXIS 2d is able to do the plate loading test for shallow foundation or not? Lack some literatures for this. I want to know how to do the loading test by adding some loads to the foundation and how to find the ultimate bearing…
  • How to embedded a shallow foundation in Plaxis 2d (e.g 0.5m)

    Hi Dears, I have tried many way to excavate or add a plate at a certain depth in plaxis to simulate the embedement depth, but none of them gave a reasonable answer. Is there any one can help of how to embedded a foting in Plaxis 2d? I could not…
  • Size effect on modelling Plaxis 2d

    Hi, Why when the model size have effect on the results even for huge dimensions? known that no deformation is happening below 4B of the footing. Actually I am trying to do sensitive Analysis for my then I used 100*100 model size just to see if there…
  • Reached total force Fy- Prescribed displacement over a footing on piles example.

    Dear all, I'm trying to find the pressure applied over a footing on piles that leads to a displacement of 0.025 m. The method of Prescribed displacement is used and the reached total force Fy is checked once the calculation is done as shown in the following…
  • Bearing Capacity of Shallow Foundation - Plaxis 2d

    Hi Dears, I am trying to do comparison between my hand calculation and Plaxis 2d. I face a problem in how to embedded a shallow foundation (i.e. circular footing) in soil. This is what I found everyone calculating it in Plaxis However, I want…
  • Stimulation of allowable bearing pressure of square footing from the Plaxis 2D analysis

    Hi all, In order to find the allowable bearing capacity of the footing, we can use prescribed displacement (25mm) and fins as shown below. But here it represents the strip footing as length inside the model is infinite. Based on the pressure…
