Hi! I am trying to find the lateral bearing capacity of a pile. It is modelled as a volume element, being laterally displaced by 0.2m. Given soil parameters of strength (s_u) 25 kPa, pile length (L) 2.5m and diameter (d) 0.1m - theoretically arrive…

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

Hello, I have a question regarding the applicability of lateral resistance in piles. In many research works, I have seen it mentioned that " PLAXIS does not account for lateral resistance/slide for embedded beams". But in the software, I see I can…

Hi Bentley, I'm trying to model piles that will stabilize a failing slope. The piles will be installed at the toe and as such the piles will be loaded laterally. The reference manual states that "although embedded beam row elements are not meant to…

I am a very new user of Plaxis 3D. I am trying to model a laterally loaded pile. In the Plaxis Tutorial manual there is an example of loading of a suction pile in which the pile is modelled as a rigid body but no material or thickness of pile is assigned…
