Hi all, Dotted line shows the capacity if there is no any NSF My question is how to stimulate these things in Plaxis 2D and if any ways to find the neutral plane through analysis? Thanks.

In the foundation module, does RAM use the pile self weight to reduce tension forces in the pile? My thought is no, because there is no place to enter the pile length. Thanks, Brian

In the foundation module, does RAM use the pile cap self weight to reduce tension forces in piles? I do not see a check box for it the way there is one to include self weight for spread footings. Thanks, Brian

Hi everyone, I'm starting to use plaxis 2D and try to model a berth, using embedded beams. Piles of a berth are both straight and inclined. In 3D they are definitely not gonna cross each other but in 2d modeling they seems to have intersections. Is this…

Hi all, When defining the pile skin resistance for phi soil, critical depth is considered. Normally considered 15 x diameter (d) as the effective stress limiting value (loose 10d, medium 15d and dense 20d). If the clay layer overlays the sand…

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…

Hi. Under the Analysis Tab when I go to Pile 11 for Load Combination 2 I see a maximum Fy of 395 kips, but when I look at the Pile Reactions Tab Pile 11 has a Pile Reactions of 270 kips. Why are these not the same or at least very similar? Pile 10 also…

Hi all, PLAXIS3D question: I am wanting to model several piles embedded in the ground, with the upper portion of the pile having an outer sleeve (steel casing with annulus being a void) around it so that it is not loaded by soil pushing on it laterally…

I have done a model of the hollow pile using embedded beam elements and trying to do earthquake analysis using the free field. I am encountering error code 40. also, I am unable to open output for this analysis, it's showing an error application. I also…

Hi, I have some question about the pile under lateral loads. 1.- I was tried to review the design theory for lateral loaded piles, but the documentation contain a web link which it is not active. 2.- I tried to search the document at the…

I am modelling a piled raft model but I want model using the centrifuge model dimensions, not the prototype, is there any way I can input the acceleration (Ng) if centrifuge into my model?

I am doing a displacement controlled analysis in plaxis 3d for a piled raft model. But it is failing after a certain value of displacement, can I incresse the max value of tolerated error?

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.

Hello, I am having trouble while trying to change the diameter of the concrete pile links that appear by default after running the RCDC program. As seen in the image below, for the given stresses, the program suggests that I use # 19 with a spacing of…

Hello! I am running a model with many embedded beams and plates on top (piled raft) and when meshing I am recieving this warning, "very small embedded beam elements generated". Is it something that effect the results? How can I solve it? Tried meshing…

Hi everyone, I am currently try to modelling a single plie as soil cluster in an axisymmetric model. I am just wondering how could we link the tip capacity and ultimate shaft friction (qp & qs) with the Rinter in our model. It seems like we cannot…
