Plaxis Bulletin Spring 2011
- Title: Plaxis Bulletin Spring 2011
- Issue: 29
- Published on: 1 April, 2011
In this bulletin a first practical application using PLAXIS 3D is described by some early users. The first user’s contribution involves a study on the effect of anisotropy on tensile stresses in a granular base for flexible pavements using an axi-symmetric finite element model
The second user’s contribution, as mentioned before, involves a three-dimensional finite element model of a deep excavation with adjacent buildings in Monaco, with the purpose to analyse the deformations as a result of the excavation process.
In addition to the contributions by PLAXIS users, the New Developments column describes a new ‘dimension’ which the Plaxis research team is working on: the modelling of thermal flow and thermo-hydro-mechanical coupling.
This bulletin also describes some recent and future activities. In fact, the list of activities is growing, in line with the steady growth of the Plaxis organization itself, which enables us to serve you even better. For more information see the end of this bulletin.
