Rectangular shaft braced excavation modelling using Plaxis 2D
Greetings,
I am presently engaged in the analysis of a braced excavation for an underground station, involving a rectangular shaft. I have included plan views and vertical cross-sections in both the length (section1) and breadth (Section2) directions…

Modelling Struts with node-to-node or fixed end anchor
Dear all,
I wonder which structural element is more proper to model the strut behavior in symmetrical and unsymmetrical excavations. Firstly I created a deep excavation model to compare the strut forces, which you can see below. For the first analysis…
(For Deep Excavation) How or what form should i build the diagonal strut (/knee strut) in ELS
Hi, I am building the ELS model in Plaxis 3D.
I am wondering what form (beam, node to node anchor) should I apply for the strut, which required to preloading. (I think it should be node-node due to prestressing)
But there are 2 diagonal struts connected…

Rigid strut - changing length
Im trying to model a piece of rigid strut as a pipe support. The specific item Im modelling is a Lisega rigid strut, type 39 (see below picture). I have connected a tie/link from my pipe to a piece of rigid beam to model it's effective use. No gaps, no…
RE: Modelling a turnbuckle hanger , Rigid Strut or a Snubber
Hello Jackson,
Open the support dialog and press help button in lower right corner of the dialog. Here you will see a table of all the support types available in AutoPIPE with descriptions, bearing direction, and support options. The bearing direction…
