When you are tasked with complex topography and geo-strata, PLAXIS 3D is the software tool to perform accurate three-dimensional analysis of deformation and stability in geotechnical engineering and rock mechanics.
PLAXIS is used worldwide for surface settlements in tunneling, mining or reservoir depletion; predicting differential settlements of buildings adjacent to excavation pits; planning for stability and seepage into excavation pits or lateral displacements of diaphragm walls; calculating necessary consolidation time for pore pressure dissipation in undrained loading problems; or estimating bearing capacity and foundation settlement analysis for high-rise buildings, LNG tanks, and other structures.
Engineering companies and institutions in the civil and geotechnical engineering industry count on PLAXIS 3D's range of CAD-like drawing capabilities and extrude, intersect, combine, and array functions for geotechnical solutions in infrastructure projects. Advanced options consider creep or flow-deformation coupling through consolidation. Ultimate options analyze the effects of vibrations in the soil, like earthquakes and moving traffic loads. The application also simulates complex hydrological conditions through time-depended variations of water levels or flow functions for both saturated and unsaturated soil conditions.
Your safe solutions deserve trusted computation that can be easily shared with project teams and stakeholders. Confidently address the most common or complex challenges with the rich functionality, sound computation, and intuitive digital workflows of PLAXIS.
