Through direct integration of stress through the Structural Forces in Volume Piles tool, or.Piles results will be primarily provided in terms of stresses which could later be integrated into structural forces into the PLAXIS Output post-processing environment, either: With such 3D models, the piles are physically modeled, and the soil-structure interaction is accounted for by means of surface interface elements with associated Coulomb-friction behavior. This will guarantee the most accurate representation of the physical problem, especially regarding soil-structure interaction. Ideally, the piles themselves will be represented by volume elements. This could be a challenging task for the designer in the case of complex pile-soil interaction or in situations involving a consolidation process.ĭue to the 3D nature of the pile geometry and the possible lateral component of the design load, most pile foundation analyses should be set up in PLAXIS 3D. In this context, the accurate prediction of piles’ settlement and proper evaluation of pile bearing capacity is a fundamental aspect of deep foundation design. Pile foundation is a popular type of deep foundation technique used to transfer superstructure load into subsoil and bearing layers. The problem of analyzing and designing deep foundations is relevant to many civil engineering structures, because we are commonly and frequently constructing buildings on soft soils.
