Hi, I am trying to model the dowels between the structural plates of central wall in a tunnel as embedded beam. The plates are vertically standing with no contact with the soil. Is this a correct modelling approach to move forward with. I understand…

Hello, this regarding the true input of the modulus of elasticity "E" for an embedded beam element, either 2D or 3D. When using this feature for modelling a concrete structure (reinforced concrete piles, grouted nail...), it seems that there are doubts…

I want to define an embedded beam row material in PLAXIS 2D via python scripting . I used this page from Bentley communities ( Material Property changes for Python scripting - GeoStudio | PLAXIS Wiki - GeoStudio | PLAXIS - Bentley Communities ) to specify…

Hello, I am designing a cantilever soldier pile as shown in the image. The soldier pile has an embedded length of "D" in concrete and an exposed length of "H-D". The soldier pile has a given section of W 18x32. I plan to approach the problem with…

Hello, I have a couple of questions regarding the embedded beam row: How can I make an embedded beam row impermeable (i.e. so water has to flow around the base of the wall)? When specifying the skin friction in the input program I am assuming…

Hi, I need to model a bored pile wall with shotcrete between the piles and a pile head cap in Plaxis 2D ultimate. Am I better to model this as an equivalent plate element using the effective stiffness per meter length or as an embedded beam row? Thank…

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…

Hello, This is a very basic question pertaining to Debonding of Piles. Type of Pile: RC Bored Pile Size of Pile: 300mm Circular Total Embedment Length: 42m Total debonded length: First 30m Rest of the length 12m is not debonded. What is…

Hi everyone, I'm starting to use plaxis 2D and try to model a berth, using embedded beams. Piles of a berth are both straight and inclined. In 3D they are definitely not gonna cross each other but in 2d modeling they seems to have intersections. Is this…

Hi all, I am making a comparison between conventional anchors and the SBMA system, and I would like to know if it is possible in PLAXIS 2D to consider the progressive debonding in the grout body, which causes a behavior in the bond stress as shown in…
