earthquake pile raft foundation

I am working on a project that requires the application of earthquakes on the pile raft foundation. When I entered the earthquake on the basis of a surface-prescribed displacement represented by acceleration...
foundation moment-rotation behavior

Dear all, In relation to the current work on foundation moment-rotation behavior, I have the following queries. 1. The typical phase displacements of the foundation in vertical direction under large...
Calculating equivalent plate properties for a foundation slab

Hello All, I am trying to model a footing as a plate element in PLAXIS 2D. I have attached the figure I intend to work as follows. I have two queries regarding to model is in PLAXIS. My actual...
Plaxis 3d - the calculation of bearing capacity by pushing a rigid foundation

Hello Everyone, I calculated the bearing capacity by two method 1. by applying a prescribed displacement. The bearing capacity is 242 kPa, which is consistent with the analytical solution. 2. by...
I am modeling a foundation on rock and wish to extract the resulting bearing pressures (Sigma yy) at the base of the footing. Should I plot draw the line cross-section directly under the plate element...

The foundation is modeled as a plate element having the following properties: EA = 59450820.01 kN/m EI = 19816940 kNm2/m w = 26 kN/m/m (considering a unit weight of 24 kN/m3 for the underlying rock and...
