  • PLAXIS 2D - modelling batter piles and pile cap beam

    Hi all, I have a problem that I'm trying to model in PLAXIS 2D and I'm a little uncertain about how to model the pile cap beam. Below is the geometry of the problem. For the batter piles, I'm modelling them as embedded beam rows. I would like to…
  • Varying Soil Parameters with respect to time for Pile foundation

    Hello, Is it possible to create a model and vary the soil parameters with respect to time. I want to create a shallow pile foundation model and vary the soil parameters with respect to time to simulate wet-dry cycles. The aim is to capture the varying…
  • How can I assign properties of Anchor Rod and Steel Sections (H-beam/C-channel) for along a cantilever sheet pile wall in PLAXIS 2D?

    I used anchor to define 12mm tie rods at 3m and 6m depth along the sheet pile. For calculating EA, I considered E = 2E8 KN/m2 and A = 0.000113 m2. Therefore EA = 22600 KN/m3. Is it the right approach top assign tie road also I am getting more displacement…
  • how to correctly provide pile head connection while modelling a piled raft foundation?

    Here raft is modelled as a volume element and piles as embedded pile element, and a negative interface is given between raft and soli. Please kindly help as the results are coming same for the pile head connection condition.
