The capabilities of the Plaxis Shotcrete material model for designing laterally loaded reinforced concrete structures in the subsurface

A hot topic in the Netherlands is the safety reassessment of dikes. Currently several (river)dikes are being reinforced to withstand a given normative high water level. The environment of those dikes is often characterised by small floodplains and urban areas right next to the dike, wherefore standard geo-technical measures cannot be applied....

Optimization of modeling pile foundations

In this thesis different models are considered which can deal with the interaction between pile foundations and structures. This to find the most efficient way to model pile foundation structures whereby both the efficiency of the design as building process are taken into account. This are the models D-Pile (geotechnical), Scia Engineer ...

Tijdsafhankelijke effecten bij door grond horizontaal belaste palen

In dit afstudeeronderzoek is aan de hand van meetresultaten van een proefterp in de Bloemendalerpolder een model in PLAXIS 3D gecreëerd om de tijdsafhankelijke effecten bij door grond horizontaal belaste palen te onderzoeken.
