Abstract In the present study, a small piled raft foundation has been simulated numerically through PLAXIS 3-D software. The objective of this study was to investigate effect governing parameters such as pile length, spacing, diameter, and number piles on settlement load-bearing behavior raft, so achieve optimum design for configurations. An optimized is defined with allowable center differenti...

Abstract The composite system of stone columns reinforced soil overlaid by granular mattress (GM) has been given more attention as a hybrid improvement technique. This work presents 3D finite element analyses using PLAXIS software for floating group constructed in deep soft clay deposit Port-Said Egypt. limited area loading was investigated conjunction with the key parameters, i.e., length, dia...

Seismic isolation is a method of protecting building from earthquake-induced deformations by using isolators and devices under the superstructure. The purpose seismic to reduce earthquake forces transferred ground structure placing energy-absorbing elements between foundation Especially in developing countries, "Geotechnical Isolation (GSI)" system has been proposed as new damages on buildings....

Abstract The aim of this research is to predict foundation settlement resting on peat soil layer using a numerical analysis software Plaxis 2D ver. 2020. study area located at Kafr Saad Domiat province extreme north east Nile Delta, Egypt. Peat known be the worst materials because its compressibility and low bearing capacity. studied building was five stories founded rigid raft. depth 1.5 m net...

The dam with two culverts on the Vyunka river has been chosen for forecasting calculations. physical and geographical features of research area have explored. information organization control system hydraulic structure studied, mix diagnostic indicators state structures substantiation carried out. calculated values coefficients overall upstream downstream slopes stability cases considered excee...

This study used a finite element analysis approach employing Plaxis 3D to analyze the stress concentration ratio, critical parameter in geotechnical engineering, examine stresses operating on stone columns and soft soils. also looked at effect of stiffness ratio between column neighboring soil. With same length three different diameters, 0.8 m, 1.0 1.2 or area replacement ratios ranging from 7%...
