Practical Use of PLAXIS 3D for the Analysis of Suction Buckets

This online training will demonstrate the practical use of Plaxis 3D for the analysis of suction bucket in OC Clay. The presentation will solely focus on setting up a PLAXIS 3D FE model of a suction bucket from scratch. It will particularly emphasize on some of the most relevant modelling aspects for this type of analyses:

• Geometry and load definition
• Undrained shear strength evaluation in the framework of an effective stress based undrained analysis through soil test
• Advanced soil modelling through hypo-plasticity most relevant for OC clays (and dense sand although not explicitly covered in the OT)
• Generation of the load-displacement curves
• Evaluation of a 3*3 linearized compliance matrix (spring element with coupling terms) to be imported into structural design analysis

After the training participants will receive the training materials

• presentation slides (in pdf)
• PLAXIS 3D model file(s)s (latest PLAXIS version only)
• link to the recorded video (available 3 months after release)
• summary of the Questions & Answers
