This example replicates the “Rapid drawdown” examples illustrated in SEEP/W and SIGMA/W. The purpose of this example is to demonstrate the steps required to conduct a stability analysis using the por...
Read MoreDeep underground excavations operate within a narrow margin between equilibrium and failure. As confinement decreases at an excavation boundary, stresses redistribute and concentrate around the openi...
Read MoreJazan, located on the Red Sea coast of Saudi Arabia, is home to a vital 12,000-square-meter operational grain warehouse that serves as a critical food security hub. The original foundation, a slab-on...
Read MoreThis example explores the effect of a flood event on the stability of a levee underlain by a confined aquifer. The analysis is conducted from the perspective of users with different licensing options...
Read MoreThe objective of dewatering is to lower the groundwater table to prevent significant groundwater flow into an excavation, and/or to ensure slope stability. The preferred dewatering system will depend...
Read MoreOpenGround is proud to announce a transformative enhancement to its platform: support for geotechnical laboratory testing and reporting. This release brings together raw lab data entry, automated cal...
Read MoreA 21,000 m² landslide was actively threatening the settlement of Köprülü in northeastern Turkey. Ground deformation accelerated, structures cracked, and engineers needed clarity fast. This case study...
Read MoreBack analysis is where geotechnical models stop being purely predictive and start being confronted by observed behaviour. In deep excavations, that test is unforgiving. Small, defensible changes in s...
Read MoreDiscover how a tailor-made workflow shortened the repetitive task of suction pile analysis for Technip Energies, and opened up a wider use of PLAXIS 3D in the earlier stages of a project’s feasibili...
Read MoreFor more than 30 years, DIPS (Data Integration using Projected Stereonets) has set the benchmark for stereonet-based analysis of orientation data, becoming a trusted reference across geotechnical and...
