Learning Plaxis 2D and 3D in English

This introduction to Plaxis 2D shows how to start a new project, set units and geometry, and build a layered soil model with MORKEL and plasticity material choices.

Explore Plaxis 2D basics, focusing on rotation springs to connect structures. Model moment, tension, and compression, and define materials, soil, walls, and foundations with groundwater and orthogonal geo grids.

Explore the difference between Plaxis software and CSI software for 3D foundation modeling, and how boundary conditions, stiffness, and model choices influence simulation results.

Learn the fundamentals of shoring systems for excavation projects, including timber and sheet pile walls, tiebacks, contiguous and secant walls, and surcharge calculations under various soil and groundwater conditions.

introduce shoring systems for enabling works, including dewatering and temporary supports. explain tiebacks, circular sections to resist buckling, and design considerations for wall thickness and surcharge.

Design and analyze a diaphragm wall with struts and anchors, evaluating active and passive stresses, compute bending moments, and determine wall forces and reinforcement for excavation stability.

Model a diaphragm wall with struts and anchors in PLAXIS, using a four-layer soil profile to simulate excavation, water table, and dewatering for bending moment and factor of safety assessment.

Explore diaphragm walls with struts and anchors using Plaxis to analyze forces, movements, and stability during excavation, model groundwater, mesh generation, and output safety factors for bending moment reinforcement.

Assess slope stability with factor of safety calculations using angle of internal friction and cohesion for clay and sand layers, including submerged conditions, in a Plaxis 2D/3D model.

Model slope stability in Plaxis for clay soils, applying a 30° internal friction angle and 7.5 kPa cohesion in a 25 m layer, with no water, and calculate total displacement.

Explore soil reinforcement methods for embankments, including metal strips and fiber reinforcement, and learn stability analysis with a factor of safety for tall retaining walls using 2d and 3d modeling.

Model shallow foundations in Plaxis using an isolated footing on a three-layer soil profile (silty clay, soft clay, sand), examining internal friction, cohesion, loads, and safety factors.

Model a shallow foundation in Plaxis, 2d/3d, using a three-layer soil profile (soft clay, clay, and sand) to define materials, loads, and isolated footing for assessing factor of safety.

Investigate negative skin friction in deep foundations, where soft clay layers cause downward movement and reduced bearing capacity, and learn mitigation via preloading and Plaxis 2D/3D modeling.

Learn the plaxis 3d version 20 workflow—from creating a new project and meshing to soil and structure modeling, staged construction, and interpreting results.

Explore the workflow for plaxis 3d v20, including modeling steps, meshing, stage-by-stage construction, and interpreting results to assess safety; compare the 2d and 3d versions.
