PLAXIS 2D Tutorial 08: Dry excavation using a tie back wall - ULS


Application PLAXIS 2D
Version Latest version

In this tutorial a Ultimate Limit State (ULS) calculation will be defined and performed for the submerged construction of an excavation. The geometry model of Tutorial 03 will be used. The Design approaches feature is introduced in this example. This feature allows for the use of partial factors for loads and model parameters after a serviceability calculation has already been performed.

 

This exercise requires a PLAXIS 2D Advanced or PLAXIS 2D Ultimate license.

The provided *.p2dxlog file contains all the commands to generate the model. With a Bentley Geotechnical SELECT Entitlement [GSE] license, you can use the link to save as the file (remove the extension .txt) and with the Commands runner open to execute all commands in one go, see also this instruction.
