  • Load-Settlement curve reading

    Dear community, I'm trying to find the ultimate bearing capacity of a shallow footing in PLAXIS 3D. The analysis is made as Load Control: A weightless plate element (2x2) is created with a point load of 10,000 kN at its center (shear failure guaranteed…
  • Bearing capacity of shallow foundation

    Dear community, this is regarding the calculation of the bearing capacity of shallow foundation. I would like to know your opinion on the best approach that yields the most realistic values. Can you provide me with documented examples that have a step…
  • How do i model footing to measure the bearing capacity and consolidation using PLAXIS 3D V21

    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…
