PLAXIS 3D Bearing Capacity (Prescribed Load vs Prescribed displacement)

Alvin Lim

Hi, I would like to determine the bearing capacity of mat foundation in PLAXIS 3D. I have tried two methods, one where I applied a surface displacement along the z axis (free along the x and y axis), the other where I applied a prescribed surface load…

PLAXIS3D - Laterally Loaded Pile Bearing Capacity

Ben Bawtree

Hi! I am trying to find the lateral bearing capacity of a pile. It is modelled as a volume element, being laterally displaced by 0.2m. Given soil parameters of strength (s_u) 25 kPa, pile length (L) 2.5m and diameter (d) 0.1m - theoretically arrive…

How do i model footing to measure the bearing capacity and consolidation using PLAXIS 3D V21

Walid Elsiwi

Hello. I am new to PLAXIS 3d V21. I have been learning PLAXIS 3D V20 which seemed to be much simpler than the current V21. I wanted to design a shallow footing setting on the ground surface. I want to measure the bearing capacity of the ground and…

Modeling Prandtl 1920 undrained bearing capacity condition in Plaxis 3D and 2D

Mahmoud Alhayek

Hello, I was trying to model Prandtl 1920 standard case for the bearing capacity untill failure of strip footing stands on the surface of undrianed clay soil with Eu = 200 Su , Su = 100 kn/m2, and vu = 0.499. The expected value is 5.14 x Su. The value…
