Hello, I have come across a problem where the raft foundation is resting on clayey silt. Ground water table is not encountered and soil at the site has a free swell index of 140-210 at 2.5 to 5m depth from EGL and foundation is at 3m below EGL. what…

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…

I give -20 kN/m (point load) on my shallow foundation but when i calculate it. there is no any Fy apllied to my project ps. I activate oint load already Thank you

Hi all, In order to find the allowable bearing capacity of the footing, we can use prescribed displacement (25mm) and fins as shown below. But here it represents the strip footing as length inside the model is infinite. Based on the pressure…

Hi, I am a masterstudent in Construction engineering and currently working on my thesis. I am trying to make a Plaxis 2D model for a soilmix-element with a load-bearing capacity. During the calculation I get the following comment: 'Not enough load…

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…
