Hi all, I have a problem that I'm trying to model in PLAXIS 2D and I'm a little uncertain about how to model the pile cap beam. Below is the geometry of the problem. For the batter piles, I'm modelling them as embedded beam rows. I would like to…

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…

Hi all, I am modelling the energy pile behaviours under different thermal operations ( by setting the different thermal boundary conditions to pile boundaries to see the temperature-induced volume change of pile and soil). For the initial installation…

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 know Plaxis does not has a provision…

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…

I guess this may have been asked before but i could not find a satisfactory answer. Here we go. I understand that pile (embedded beam row) can be molded as both elastic and elasto-plastic material with limit N and M. When modeled as elastic material…

Hi all, Anyone please explain how to stimulate the boring effect in soil before placing bored pile in Plaxis 2D. Thanks.

Hi all, Dotted line shows the capacity if there is no any NSF My question is how to stimulate these things in Plaxis 2D and if any ways to find the neutral plane through analysis? Thanks.

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…

I used anchor to define 12mm tie rods at 3m and 6m depth along the sheet pile. For calculating EA, I considered E = 2E8 KN/m2 and A = 0.000113 m2. Therefore EA = 22600 KN/m3. Is it the right approach top assign tie road also I am getting more displacement…

Hi everyone, I am currently try to modelling a single plie as soil cluster in an axisymmetric model. I am just wondering how could we link the tip capacity and ultimate shaft friction (qp & qs) with the Rinter in our model. It seems like we cannot…
