  • Why liquefied points are observed in soil while using advanced constitutive models PM4sand and PM4silts before seismic loading?

    Why liquefied points are observed in soil while using advanced constitutive models PM4sand and PM4silts before seismic loading? The liquefied points were observed in static phase only
  • Breakwater

    Please , can any one help me how to model Accrapods or tetrapods in plaxis 2d ?
  • Non zero cohesion and tensile strength

    Is there an official Plaxis reference or literature reference supporting the use of non zero cohesion and tensile strength (eg 1 kPa), to improve numerical calculation?
  • Tunnel _ volume strain input

    Hi all, I was modelling the volume expansion (due to temperature change) by inputting the volume strain of material directly. But when I consider the tunnel, I cannot input the volume strain value to the lining ( plate material), so it shows the wrong…
  • 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…
  • lateral soil slippage at the sides of the pile

    Hello, Can anyone please help as how can I model " lateral soil slippage at the sides of the pile" using embedded beam in PLAXIS. Thank you, Faisal
  • Providing interface to cylindrical volume Deep Mixed column

    Hello, I am doing PLASXIS 3D analysis for the Deep Mixed (DM) column installed in soft soil under the embankment load. DM columns are made by extruding a cylindrical volume and replacing the soft soil material with the DM column material. The soft soil…
  • Floating windfarm anchor pile design

    #PREdesign #Firstdesign #not-final-design Hey, I'd like to back to give additional informations about my last question. As i have already said, i'm geologist, student in M2 geosciences for energy at Paris Cergy University. For my master thesis,…
  • Error 111

    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…
  • Initial void ratio, einit and Cc, Cr value

    Hi all, In Plaxis, the term initial void ratio is defined as eo or the void ratio represent the OBP of the soil? I think it should be eo as consolidation settlement equation relating Cc and Cr depends on the eo, therfore Is any way to calculate…
  • Influence zone in deep excavation

    Hi all, Anyone, please tell how to estimate the influence zone during the deep excavation (this helps to check whether the surrounding buildings affect or not and then can do impact assessment). I got these details from one paper. Thanks.
