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, i want to create a pile as a volume element. ive created an interface but im not sure how to simulate the skin and base friction with the interface. Can anyone help me plase? Thank you :)

Hello, I am doing PLASXIS 3D analysis for the Deep Mixed (DM) column installed in soft soil under the embankment load. DM columns are made by extruding a cylindrical volume and replacing the soft soil material with the DM column material. The soft soil…

Hello, I can´t visualize any axis or geometry on PLAXIS LE 2D slope stability. Already re-installed and change the version of PLAXIS LE 21.00.00.95 to V 21.05.00.043. The windows view is always blank, but when I use the command “print to PDF” I can…

Hello everyone, I'm approaching plaxis 2D LE software. I'm trying to open models from Plaxis LE Manager, but when I open them I cannot see anything in the 2D LE software. I've just a white screen. Can someone help me? Thank you

Hello, I have a question about the interfaces in plaxis. I did a comparison between 3 cases : 1. A retaining wall with a rigid interface 2. A retaining wall with a 0.6 interface coefficient 3. A retaining wall without any interface (deactivated interface…

#PREdesign #Firstdesign #not-final-design Hey, I'd like to back to give additional informations about my last question. As i have already said, i'm geologist, student in M2 geosciences for energy at Paris Cergy University. For my master thesis,…

Dear All, Can we input p-y curves as interfaces for pile in Plaxis 3D? During time history analysis, instead of the R inter value, is there a way we can input p-y curves in the interfaces? How does one overcome this?

When refining my mesh after checking it is clear of any issues with geometry and selecting "View Mesh" I get this: An overlap between the interface and plate section - this area of the mesh looks incorrect and as if it is folding on itself. Interestingly…

Hi All, I am currently working on a cross passage excavation between two TBM tunnels. The cross passage, its collar and the TBM tunnel are shown in the following figure. The volume loss inside TBM tunnel is modelled by using surface loads (30…

Hi guys, How can I model this type of contact between surfaces? Thanks for the help.

Hi, Is there a way to be able to input or indicate a Residual Interface Strength at the interface of a structure and soil that is assigned with a User defined soil model? UDSM seem to have a different set of interface parameters where we input the strength…

Hello, I wanted to know if there is a way to see the soil interface parameters in the results of Plaxis. Because after applying the Rinter variable of a soil I cannot see the "new" parameters that are assigned to the interface material. Regards…

Greeting for everyone, I use Plaxis 3D to simulate deep excavation using Butress wall and Cross wall. However, when I activate interface in the early phase (using very small Rinter value), the severe divergence occurs in the output results. Is there…

we use interface elements to model interaction between structure and surrounding soil. we typically use R_int for strength and elasticity of interface. my question is that is there any upper bond for interface element stiffness and strength? for example…

When requesting the Line input objects via the Python interface, I noticed that it returns a segmented line, not the single line that you put in through the GUI. Is it possible to get the Python interface to return the single line that you put in yourself…

Hi, by displaying the principal stresses of a line cross section in the middle of a cut off wall an irregular peak of stress keeps showing. The Plaxis Reference suggests adding interfaces to solve the problem of stress oscilations at the corners of…

Referring to the question and answer about Rinter ( https://communities.bentley.com/products/geotech-analysis/f/plaxis-soilvision-forum/212033/rinter-value ) We typically do not recommend parameter values as this should be based on data collected…

I am trying to validate a small-scale rough tension pile embedded in sand using PLAXIS 3D. I am using a volume pile with the linear elastic constitutive model for concrete and sand with MC constitutive model. The volume pile was modeled with an interface…

Here raft is modelled as a volume element and piles as embedded pile element, and a negative interface is given between raft and soli. Please kindly help as the results are coming same for the pile head connection condition.

Hi all, I have several questions regarding Tutorial 08 for PLAXIS 2D. 1. There seems to be a gap between my footing and upper interface. Although I have tried to merge equivalent geometric objects, it was suggested that "no equivalent geometric objects…

Dear Plaxis/Bentley community, we are working on soil-geogrid interaction and want to apply user-defined properties to the interface via a UDSM. The overall goal is to update the shear stiffness of the interface elements in each calculation step depending…

I am attempting to model a joint between two tunnel sections. The joint's compressive behaviour can be approximated as a tri-linear elastic. I have created (and tested) a UDSM with tri-linear properties and that seems to works. However, because the…

I have tried validating PLAXIS 2D for the very simple case of a block connected through a linear-elastic perfectly plastic Mohr Coulomb interface to an oscillating base. The model consists in a large soil cluster of linear elastic material (the oscillating…
