Soil model
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…

Tunnel _ volume strain input
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…
why Fy = 0 when i give a point load on foundation
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
Stimulation of allowable bearing pressure of square footing from the Plaxis 2D analysis
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…

How can I solve the following issue: 'Not enough load steps [102]' ?
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…
Cyclic accumulation and optimisation tool tutorial- help!
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…
