I have plotted the PI versus the liquid limit on the plasticity chart designed by Casagrande and all the points (from different boreholes and different depths) are aligned (quite well actually) on a straight line that is fairly parallel to the A-line (and above). What can I conclude from the...
Hello,
According to Geoslope manual (I guess you would find the same explaination in other manuals or books) "the contours indicate
that the minimum safety factor has been found."
I don't really understand - geometrically or physically - why having a FoS contoured implies that the minumum has...
Hello, thank you for your answer.
I have done some FEA previously with Plaxis and Abaqus but I don't have a very broad experience.
Regarding question #3 I used gravity loading because the K0-procedure is supposed to give correct initial stresses only if everything is horizontal, which is not...
Hello,
I'm using Plaxis to model a sheet pile wall between a quay and a future railroad.
The soil is mostly fill material above thick layers of soft clay followed by non-cohesive materials (such as sand).
I'm modelling the clay layers with undrained Mohr-Coulomb, i.e. the input I gave is cu...
Hello,
I am using Com624P to calculate the deflection of a laterally loaded pile. The input and run parts seem to happen without any problem. But when I get to the graphic part I do not have any deflection curve available, only the p-y curves that I asked for during the input.
Also the ouput...
