Pseudo Static Analysis
Hi there
I have a question regarding the pseudo static analysis. As per the Plaxis's explanations below, it seems equivalent internal forces by the pseudo static analysis apply to the whole mesh. Does this mean that this applies to all elements (soils…

Dear sir, I have a query in plaxis 2d
Dear sir, I have a query in plaxis 2d.
1. Why should we assign interfaces ( Positive and Negative) to the plate element in plaxis 2d?
2. What is purpose of assigning the interface?
3.But in Plaxis 3d, we will not assigning any interfaces to the…

Hardening Soil Model Limitation
Hi, PLAXIS team,
I'm struggling to understand what the upper limit for material stiffness, i.e. E50 in Hardening Soil Model is? I am exploring different material models for a very low to low strength Siltstone (UCS = 1MPa, E50 = 300MPa) and I was thinking…
plate properties (PLAXIS 2d vs PLAXIS 3D)
Hello,
I have a question about the plate properties in PLAXIS. In 2D, there is a specific input as "unit weight (w)" and in 3D, there is another specific unit weight as " unit weight (gamma)". I know how to get the unit weight for PLAXIS 3D but for…

Effect of overburden and confining stress on HSS model parameters.
For the hardening soil and hardening soil with small strain models, PLAXIS material models manual states that the Pref = 100 kPa in PLAXIS (and it is better to leave it at that) and also Pref = confining stress in a drained triaxial test.
I am conducting…
