DeepFND can do structural and geotechnical design of drilled piles, driven piles, caissons, micropiles, CFA piles, Drilled-in-displacement piles and helical piles. User can define easily the pile type, the pile section and the reinforcement. The software does full lateral and vertical pile analysis and calculates the required embedment length. DeepFND can design both Single Piles and Pile Groups.

Vibration of foundations study under an excitation from the rotating machine is one of the most important development in soil dynamics. While the theoretical basis has been firmly developed since the late 60s, many engineers still found that the foundation design of the vibrating machine is an elusive task.

Pembangunan jembatan pada dasarnya harus mempertimbangkan bagaimana mekanisme yang optimal untuk pelaksanaan konstruksinya. Hampir semuanya harus dapat mengatasi masalah dari tipe jembatan dan suatu kondisi lokasi tertentu yang pada akhirnya memerlukan suatu teknologi yang memadai untuk dapat mengakomodir kebutuhan pelaksanaan konstruksi jembatan tersebut.

A deep excavation in Indonesia experienced significantly greater deformations vs. the design levels as presented in the paper “Back calculation of excessive deformation on deep excavation” by M.F. Ma’ruf and H. Darjanto. The original authors recalibrated soil properties and benchmarked the measured response by adjusting soil properties in a finite element analysis model using the Mohr Coulomb model. Our review indicated that the deformations could have been predicted by using the original soil properties and with minor modelling adjustments using even only Limit-Equilibrium methods or non-linear analysis Winkler methods. Using the hardening soil model with the original soil strength properties also produced far better agreement vs. the Mohr Coulomb.

In many construction projects at which the working space is limited, a vertical deep excavation is often the only viable option. Technically, SNI 8460:2017 classifies the deep excavation as an excavation with depth greater than 3.0 m. For maintaining soil stability, a combination of embedded wall, struts, ground anchor, etc., are commonly used together.

Rail projects have been traditionally complex with the strong need for collaboration between multiple engineering disciplines. Interoperable rail design products using a BIM workflow enable the stakeholders to be updated with one another’s design work. This saves valuable time and resources by avoiding reworks and delays during design and construction.

Undrained (A) and Undrained (B) are the recommended options for modeling the undrained behavior (applying effective stress analysis). Stiffness parameter inputs for Undrained (A) and Undrained (B) are in terms of effective stiffness; the bulk modulus of water is calculated accordingly. PLAXIS provides the SoilTest feature to test the soil model/parameters using commonly used laboratory test → This does NOT substitute the real laboratory test. Mohr-Coulomb model is certainly limited for capturing the real behavior of soil in undrained path → Advanced soil model should be considered (e.g. hardening soil).

Join our upcoming Watch & Learn session (10th July 9.30am Jakarta Time) to learn: 1. Assumptions in Undrained Soil Analysis. 2. Types of Undrained behavior available in PLAXIS. 3. Undrained stiffness and strength parameters. 4. Formulation of excess pore pressure. 5. Undrained stress path in Mohr-Coulomb model.
