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 seasonal water variation, PLAXIS provides many options to assist with such modelling. In this month’s Geotechnical Analysis Coffee Corner, we will:

  • present key aspects of conventional and unsaturated soil behaviour in PLAXIS

  • discuss key PLAXIS concepts for modelling groundwater flow in saturated and unsaturated soils

  • present the concept of a fully coupled flow-deformation analysis

  • examine how to perform a slope stability analysis during and after rapid drawdown
