Hi Everyone, Thanks for the help in advance!! I understand the plastic failure point means the soil element is currently at the failure envelop and it could disappear in the next calculation step if unloading occurred. However, I figured there…

Dear All I am running a Plaxis 3D safety analysis for a shallow foundation with skirts for a subsea structure. I have the follow query and really appreciate if anybody can help In Plaxis, the safety analysis can only start after a successful plastic…

Greetings to whoever reading this, I'm modeling construction of a pre-loading embankment on soft soil, to be improved by pre-loading and PVD's, to get the ultimate consolidation settlement and the time needed for it under the effect of the embankment…

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…

Hello, I am modeling a small scale uplift test which was conducted on a circular plate embedded inside a sand bed. The circular plate was of diameter 75 mm and depth of the embedment was 750 mm. The same was modeled in PLAXIS 3D using plate element…

Hi, I am a newbie in Plaxis 3D. I am setting the model of deep excavation with lateral support. First, I creat the soil/existing ground by borehole only, and i set some volume to deactivate since the ground surface is not flat. And I creat all excavation…

I'm trying to undertake cyclic loading on a torpedo anchor in PLAXIS. In order to understand how to model cyclic loading on PLAXIS I tried the "PLAXIS 2D Tutorial 08: Cyclic vertical capacity and stiffness of circular underwater footing" (via the link…
