Advanced user of PLAXIS 3D
★★★★★
PLAXIS the tool in the present and for the future.

What do you like best?

It's a very versatile tool for geotechnical engineers. It allows simulating different geometries very close to reality.

What do you dislike?

The price! It is expensive, still a powerful tool.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

-Deep Soil Mixing soil improvement for earth retention systems:

In this project, PLAXIS 3D was used to validate assumptions made with plane strain analyses. This use enabled to notice a critical aspect of the design being dismissed by the nature of the 2D analysis

-Tangent cofferdam shafts (eight shaped) for tunneling construction inlets and outlets.

In this application PLAXIS 3D allowed to simulate a complex geometry unable to be captured using 2D plane strain or axisymmetric conditions. I was also able to model different materials layouts and properties, as well as to simulate complicated dewatering processes.

-Helical anchors loaded under inclined loads:

In this application, PLAXIS 3D was used to analyze a very close to real geometry and simulate different soil conditions with advanced constitutive models not available in other FE software.
