Hi all, Can anyone explain how each soil parameter like stiffness parameters, strength parameters etc affect the structure deflection and forces with some explanations (if you have good source also please share) as i need to understand these things…

Hi there, My university already has a licence for plaxis2D, but I need the Barcelona basic model (BBM) dll for the soil and water coupling phase. Can you share with me the "Barcelona basic model (BBM) dll" for plaxis 2D? Cheers,

Hello everyone, I wanted to ask you a question about the simplification of a 3D model in Plaxis. Because of the great amount of time it takes to run the calculations, we have been thinking about using only one quarter of the geometry of the building…

Hi all, To calculate the ks, we can provide prescribed displacement of 25mm on the footing in Plaxis 2D and get the bearing pressure for that and calculate the ks. I have some questions regarding ks. 01. Based on the Bowles equation, he requested…

Im doing a dynamic analysis of machine foundation with various freqencies. Im using geocell as reinforcement in 2D (by using ECA). but after reinforcement there was no shift in resonance. Definite reduction in aplitudes were observed but at same frequency…

hello, good day. I have a wetmuck project in an underground mine. I want to analyze, model, and simulate underground mining works. such as blasting with real contours and the correct data is there to overcome the wetmuck which is very dangerous for…

Hello there, I was trying to predict the settlement of layered soils due to the groundwater lowering. My guess is that, in order to model the consolidation process, I need to apply a flow function, modelling the hydraulic head lowering over time,…

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…

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…

Why the Cloud? No matter where you are on your digital journey, technology is changing. There are new ways to improve collaboration and efficiency among different stakeholders, from geotechnical to structural engineers, by taking simple steps to plan…

Greetings to the forum members. I have two questions to ask. 1. I was trying to simulate the undrained loading and consolidation process of a circular skirted foundation and compare the results with previous research. Interaction between the foundation…

Hello everyone, I would like to ask what is the more effective way to model a continuous cylinder foundation which is increasing in diameter from the top to the bottom. As an example we want to set the diameter at the top equal to 10 m whereas at…

I want to simulate a axially loaded pile (2d or 3d does not matter). Initially I want to apply only gravity. 1. I want extract a stress file (stress for every gauss point in every element). Is it possible? How do I extract it? 2. Modify the stresses externally…

Using the NorSand UDSM in SoiTest doesn't seem to allow creation of plots using state parameter. Is this correct or am I doing something wrong?

In gINT, is there a way to set the maximum number of borings to display on a fence, and have the program automatically create a page 2, 3, etc. as needed? We have a highly customized fence report that is not actually a fence or cross section. Rather than…

Attempting to connect gINT datanase into the Open Roads Geotech module - symbols for data representation and symbolisation are not available within the database connectivity window (as shown in tutorials). Where do these symbols come from, do i need to…

Considering line of contraction as 1% for circular tunnel, plaxis results around 50mm of ground settlement above the tunnel. However, plaxis settlement is almost double the settlement which we have calculated by empirical equation given by O'Reilley…

Hi all , i modled two perpendicular tunnels (tunnel and gallury) , one is excavated by TBM and the other by NATM, the probléme is that in the staged contruction part the calculations stop from the first phase, i dont see where the probléme is , …

Hello, I want to model two perpendiculairs tunnels (tunnel ad gallery) *** are excavated by two differentes techniques NATM and TBM ,is it possible by plaxis V203D?

Hello My name is Emre; I work on an article which is related to piping on earthfill dam.So only thing that i should do in to check the hydraulic gradient in stress tabsheet in output.Then, comparing to critical hydraulic gradient(which is already known…
