Coffee Corner: Modelling unsaturated soil behaviour with PLAXIS Barcelona Basic model

The PLAXIS Barcelona Basic Model (PLAXIS BBM) is used to simulate the behaviour of unsaturated soils. It is based on Bishop’s effective stress combined with the suction stress variable, accounting for the transition from a partially saturated stat...

Coffee Corner: Combined analysis of Rapid Draw Down and slope stability in PLAXIS 2D

Fluctuations in water levels have a significant influence on the slope stability of natural slopes or water-retaining structures such as embankments. When dealing with a simple phreatic water level, a complex transient dewatering scheme or a seaso...

Coffee Corner: Tunnelling simulated by the convergence-confinement method in PLAXIS 2D

Using PLAXIS 2D, it is possible to simulate the construction process of tunnels with a sprayed concrete lining (NATM) and account for the three-dimensional arching effect within the soil and the deformations around the unsupported tunnel face. The...

Coffee Corner: Geotechnical Analysis - Automated design of monopile foundations using PLAXIS Monopile Designer

In an offshore windfarm project, each monopile may have a different soil profile and loading condition, which may require lots of calculations for designing and be huge time-consuming for the project. With the introduction of the PLAXIS Monopile D...

Coffee Corner: Rock reinforcement modelling in PLAXIS

In this month’s Geotechnical Analysis Coffee Corner, we will review PLAXIS 2D V22 Update 2 and the new Cable Bolt element. This new structural element can be used to simulate rock reinforcement (e.g., fully-grouted rebar, frictional bolts, strand ...

Coffee Corner: Combining a PLAXIS analysis with SLOPE/W's Limit Equilibrium for slope stability

For the determination of a Factor of Safety the strength reduction method is a very powerful tool to obtain the most critical slip surface. However, there may be circumstances in which more information is required than just the most critical slip ...

Coffee Corner: Beyond analytical calculations with PLAXIS

In practical geotechnical engineering, designs are still making use of analytical solutions. In this coffee corner we will show how the same analysis can be done in PLAXIS, and where PLAXIS gives more insight and helps to further optimize the geot...
