Hi there,

I have an excavation problem which has got non uniform  soil layers over non uniform rock layers. These rock layers have different strength and has got different formula for the in-situ stresses. I know RS2/RS3 has got option to simulate in situ stresses in rock but I need to model this in Plaxis 3D. 

can any one advise me how to model in situ stresses in Plaxis 3D when there are  soil layers over rock layers  and these rock layers are non uniform and have got different insitu stesss formula.

Thanks
