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: Modelling Rock Creep: time-dependent rock behaviour with N2PC-MCT model

The 'Norton Double Power Creep Model (N2PC), extended with Mohr-Coulomb and Tension cut-off failure criterion (N2PC-MCT)’ is an elasto-plastic viscoplastic constitutive model for rocks. This model is particularly useful for studying both the time-...

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: 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 ...
