Coffee Corner: Fundamentals of Designing with Geosynthetics in PLAXIS

In the past five decades considerable development has taken place in the area of geosynthetics and their field applications, mainly because the use of geosynthetics offers technically efficient, cost-effective, environmentally friendly and/or energy-efficient alternative solutions to many field problems in the areas of civil, mining and agricultural engineering.

This Coffee Corner covers the fundamentals of designing with geosynthetics in PLAXIS and showcases an example of a mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) wall design.

Key learning points include:

  • understanding the behaviour and applications of geogrid elements in PLAXIS 2D/3D

  • determining material properties based on obtained laboratory and field test results

  • following the process of a design with geosynthetics
