Reduction of soil suction limit (Psiunsat) leads to slower groundwater flow in unsaturated slope
I am simulating the process of pipe burst induced groundwater flow in an unsaturated slope (see simplified sketch in Figure 1 below). According to the according to the k-function curve, a lower limit of soil suction will make the soil more permeable at…
How to guess seepage line in a slope
Hi,
I have to do seepage analysis in a mine waste dump slope, where I have no data of seepage flow. I have only ground water level data not any other water level data.
So, how can draw the seepage line or in PLAXIS 2D there is any way to assume the…
Steady state flow analysis through a earthrn embankment in plaxis 2D advanced
Hello
I'm doing a steady state seepage analysis of water seepage in Plaxis 2D advanced edition.
Could anyone kindly help me out?
Thank you
How do I do the seepage analysis of an earthen embankment wall?
Hi, I'm a beginner in plaxis and I want to analyze the seepage characteristics of an embankment dam made out of soil. I want to analyze both drained and undrained cases.
Kindly help me out.
Embankment reinforced with car tyre
Hello
How do I create a normal soil embankment that is reinforced with car tires?
I'm a beginner in plaxis modeling, kindly help me out.
Flow only analysis and fully coupled flow deformation calculation type
Hi,
according to the manual the calculation type Flow only can be only used to perform a groundwater flow analysis in both un/saturated soils and no stresses shall be obtained from such an analysis, while on the other hand the calculation type Plastic…
cut off wall- earth dam
Hi,
I am having difficulties modelling the seepage in an earth dam enhanced with a cut off wall using Plaxis 2D. The cut off wall is made of plastic concrete and was introduced later as part of a maintenance procedure in order to prevent any potential…
Convergence Issues with semi-permeable interface in dam 2d seepage analysis using PlaxFlow
Dear all,
I'm performing a 2D seepage analysis of a tailings dam using the 'PlaxFlow' module. Our design includes a geomembrane in the upstream face of the dam, we are currently modelling it as as an impervious interface element for. As a part of a…
