Mstage and Surface load

Hi Plaxis Forum I have a model of a shield tunnel in plaxis3d. The model is run to an Mstage=0,8 for the excavation of the tunnel (Phase 1); in the following phase, a concrete lining is activated and...
Water Loads in PLAXIS 3D

Hi I am modelling jack-up leg extraction in PLAXIS 3D. I have modelled a quarter of the model since it is symmetric. The groundwater boundary within PLAXIS is set as per the snapshot showed below. When...
Bidirectional pile load test

I am trying to validate my model for bidirectional pile load test using the ISSMGE paper "Back analysis of O-cell pile load test using FEM". Here on applying surface load on top and bottom pile sections...
Axis Function of a surface load.

Hello everyone, In the figure 1 below, I have a surfaceload with an Automatic AxisFunction. I want the local axis to be in the same direction as the surfaceload (angle of 36.19° from the X axis). In...
Bi-directional pile load test

How to model bi-directional pile load test in plaxis 3D? Total pile length is 60.4 m and diameter is 2.5 m. Soil strata consists of layers of medium to very dense silty sand and sandy silt. I have created...
