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...

Coffee Corner: Modelling fractured rock mass with PLAXIS 2D

For our first Coffee Corner of 2022, we'll take a closer look at the new Discontinuity element. Rock mass is not a homogeneous material: the presence of faults, fractures, joints, and weakness planes influence the mechanical behavior, often more t...

Coffee Corner: Using PLAXIS Sensitivity Analysis and Parameter Variation

At this month's Coffee Corner, we'll look at reducing uncertainty of soil parameters using PLAXIS SensiPar. When starting a geotechnical project, engineers usually do not have much soil data. They need to make a judgment with this limited amount o...

Coffee Corner: Getting PLAXIS Calculation Results

The purpose of setting up a geotechnical Finite Element model is to learn something from your configuration, such as: How much settlement do I get? Is the construction stable? How large will the bending moment be in the retaining wall? After setti...
