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…

I want to ask when reviewing soil improvement using PVD, why is the result of the decrease in time using my plaxis 2D when 2 m spacing is faster than 1.5 m spacing and 1.5 m spacing is faster than 1 m spacing?shouldn't pvd spaced closer should be faster…

how to solve error code 103 load advancement procedure fails?

how to solve warning code 5 in plaxis "some stress points violated either the fairlure criterion or tension cut-off criterion" ?

Buongiorno, devo eseguire il calcolo per valutare la pressione massima su una piastra. Tale piastra, a sostegno di uno scavo, verrà eseguita in cantiere con dei blindaggi meccanici realizzati con doppia rotaia di guida e pannelli. Come bisogna modellare…

Dear Many thanks for your information. We know that in the Plaxis, we can create constitutive model programmed using FORTRAN and implement in PLAXIS through the "User Defined Soil Model" to create our own equations for the materials. I have a question…

Hello, I'm having trouble getting my 2nd Data Marker to show in the plot on the right. The first data (DCPT - triangles) shows but the second data (SPT - squares) does not. However, I can see that the program does recognize that there is a 2nd Data…

#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,…

We are doing independent check / PE review of an deep excavation project, which majority of the excavation are in Rocks. The designer used Hardening soil model to model the Rock layers. My questions are: 1. is it proper to use HS model to model the…

Hi, From the Use of Component Description The order of components can also be change without editing the data." Can someone shed some light on how to accomplish this? I appreciate any helpful guidance. Thanks D.

Dear researchers, I wanna to ask you about the instalation effect of stone columns, how can add it in Plaxis 3D, I'm waiting for an answer please. Best regards.

Hi, I was wondering if it possible to create your own template on gINT. My company got gINT for our IDOT jobs and use their library. So I am wondering if we could create our own template and/or edit IDOT's template to fit our needs. All I really need…

Hello, My project is about construction of an embankment on subgrade reinforced by stone columns covered with geosynthetic...so i need to know what's the phases of calculation required...is it the same of the stone columns without geosynthetic? Or should…

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…

Hi all, Anyone, Please tell the purpose of the cyclic loading test on soil (I saw the plate load test report, there they adopted one unloading and reloading and in MLT test one)? What is the standard code you have used for the pile load test? EC7…

Hi all, If anyone know how to decide the spacing between the instrumentations which are needed to provide on site to measure in-situ data like ground settlement markers, prism markers, water stand pipe, piezometers, inclinometers etc. Thanks.

While we have been able to use gINT data for some time, are we now able to work with Holebase data following Bentley's acquisition of Keynetix? I am currently using ORD 2019 R2 but is this available in more recent versions?

Hi, Does anyone know of possible gINT courses (more than the self-guided ones) for someone beginning to use the software? The additional accredited trainers only really focus on the civil software products offered through Bentley and I cannot find any…

Hi all, In the sheetpile deep excavation seepage is possible which induces hydraulic failures. In the surface of the cohesion less soil at the exit position of the excavation there will be a boiling and we can find its FOS using ic/iexit. I need some…

Hi all, Can anyone give some advice about unstable situations due to soil collapse. I mean, can anyone recommend a way to calculate safety factors (<1.0) if you got a collapse in plastic phase using only plaxis results (without a limit equilibrium model…

Hi all, Please check whether my understanding is correct under this topic and if I'm wrong or missed points, provide the explanation, thanks. For the medium dense to dense soil, due to the shearing effect particle will expand which result in the…
