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 cable) and to model the pre-tensioning for active reinforcement systems.

In this month’s Geotechnical Analysis Coffee Corner, we will:

  • provide an overview of the characteristic of the new cable bolt element

  • detail the material properties to be defined for its proper simulation

  • present a practical application to show the usage of this new element
