New Developments in PLAXIS
Material Point Method and Reliability Analysis
The paper describes two new developments in the PLAXIS geotechnical finite element software. The first part involves some new developments related to the Material Point Method. Here, attention is given to user requirements, with special focus·on the division of the geometry into

Following up on previous research on Automated Parameter Determination (APD), in which the soil stratification and numerical model parameters are automatically derived from individual CPTs, this article describes ongoing research in which the geotechnical modelling workflow is fu

To simulate the behaviour of saturated sands under cyclic loading, the PM4Sand constitutive model (version 3.1) formulated by Boulanger & Ziotopoulou [1], is used. The model can realistically reproduce the pore pressure build-up, accumulation of strain as well as triggering of li

When saturated soils are subjected to an earthquake, the excess pore pressuresincrease, and, in the case of sands, this may cause liquefaction. To simulate the behaviour of saturated sands under cyclic loading, the PM4Sand constitutive model (version 3.1) formulated by Boulanger

In this paper the man-induced earthquakes in Groningen (the Netherlands) are studied in terms of site response analyses and liquefaction evaluation. A particular soil profile in Loppersum is employed and soil properties are determined based on available geotechnical data. Clayey

The
Creep-SCLAY1S model is capable of simulating the anisotropic and rate-dependent
behaviour of soft soils. The mathematical formulation also includes the
possibility to model bonding and destructuration. Many constitutive models have
been proposed in literature to describe the
