Hi all, I am trying to recreate the stress-strain curves from the HSS formulation to have a better understanding about the calibration process. I am using the following formulation as displayed in the "Material Models" manual: Nevertheless, this…

On Calibrating PM4 models, how to generate g/gmax vs strain graph and damping vs strain graph, using soil testing to adjust the secondary parameters.?

The pore water pressure above the tunnel is observed to be positive under dynamic loading that results into negative ru, excess pore water pressure ratios. What could be the reason? kindly help me

On using PM4silt for clay and using Undrained A and for sandy soils (PM4sand) Undrained A.is it correct to use this combination while studying for liquefaction analysis?

Hi, Is there a way of restrict the failure slope that PLAXIS 2D give me? For example in an earth dam I want that my slip mass for a pseudostatic analysis starts in the crest, is there a way to do that? Thanks

I am currently working on a liquefaction analysis using the PM4Silt and PM4Sand models for a layered soil model in PLAXIS 2D. However, I have encountered an issue where the liquefied points are observed in the static stage only before the dynamic analysis…

Hello, I need to use the Plaxis script to get the result but I have this error (No module plxscripting) in the script! I did below steps: 1- Activated remote scripting server 2- Started SciTE editor 3- Included boilerplate below: from plxscripting. easy…

Please , can any one help me how to model Accrapods or tetrapods in plaxis 2d ?

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…

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?

Hello Everyone! Currently I'm trying to figure out how does work example programs from this topic: https://communities.bentley.com/products/geotech-analysis/w/wiki/45468/creating-user-defined-soil-models After several tries I've downloaded and started…

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, I am a civil engineering student and am trying to model a reclamation project with Plaxis-2D. I was trying to study the lateral deformation caused by wave loading on the artificial island, but since the boundaries are fixed, no lateral deformation…

Which of the following will be the best-suited soil model to study the shear strength gain from the ground improvement by prefabricated vertical drains? Can anyone compare the Modified Cam Clay (MCC) model and Soft Soil Model to find the better one for…

Hi All, I am working on the analysis job for an excavation work? So far I have proceeded to the completion of excavation that has been temporarily supported by struts? I am about to activate the ground floor level slab and deactivate the struts…

Hi everyone, I am working on a simple excavation and lateral support problem with soil berm as support for intermediate stages before reaching the final excavation level. For the last stage of soil berm removal before reaching the final excavation level…

Hi, I am a civil engineering student and am doing a project that requires the simulation of deep mixing columns in a reclamation plan. I have built the model, but my supervisors told me that I have to define the boundaries between the soil and the DCM…

Hi, I am a civil engineering student and am doing a simple analysis of a reclamation plan on Plaxis-2D. I wanted to know the deformation of the plan and tried to do so by setting the boundaries (highlighted in red) as "free line displacement". However…

Hi, I am doing pseudo static analysis in earth dam to calculate the yield acceleration for different geometry and property configurations. I have questions about the boundary conditions to calculate this value, because my ky_crit change depending if my…

After the model is picked in a manager, the corresponding module doesn't start. I can check that the installation of program and dependencies went well. Is it an usual issue and is there a fix before I reinstall operating system. I can't really be…

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…

Hi all, Can anyone share some screenshots showing the soil arching effect in the retaining system or embankment pile support in Plaxis 2D for study purpose? I did a sample model but couldn't get that effect. Plaxis 3D ==> From…

Hi. Can someone explain me why we should not model the length direction of a strip foundation when settlement analysis?

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…
