Am trying to model the effect of thermal loading on the backfill behind integral abutment by using Plaxis 2D. I modelled the concrete bridge deck as Linear Plate element and provide a prescribed displacement near the top of the abutment. The applied displacement…

Hi all! I am wandering that PLAXIS 2d is able to do the plate loading test for shallow foundation or not? Lack some literatures for this. I want to know how to do the loading test by adding some loads to the foundation and how to find the ultimate bearing…

Hi Dears, I have tried many way to excavate or add a plate at a certain depth in plaxis to simulate the embedement depth, but none of them gave a reasonable answer. Is there any one can help of how to embedded a foting in Plaxis 2d? I could not…

I am trying to save and export plot of different forces and displacement for a plate. Should I use this function Structuralforcesplot? or am I mistaken? Which function should I use to generate contour plots of a pile cap modelled using a plate?

Hello, I am attempting to model a plate subject to an upward imposed displacement in a soil mass with two soil layers (see figure below). I activated the plate, the displacement and both soil polygons and then started the calculation. This resulted…

Hello, I am modeling a small scale uplift test which was conducted on a circular plate embedded inside a sand bed. The circular plate was of diameter 75 mm and depth of the embedment was 750 mm. The same was modeled in PLAXIS 3D using plate element…
