Modern approach to numerical modelling of anchored protective structures
Abstract
A modern approach to numerical modelling of anchored protective structures is presented in the paper, and an overview is given of experience gained in the use of the Plaxis 2D computer program, and soil model with isotropic strengthening. Basic properties of soil in drained and undrained conditions, due to stress occurring during foundation pit excavation, are explained. An example involving simulation of an anchored protective structure is presented, and guidelines for the selection of soil materials for the HSs soil model are given.
