🎥 PLAXIS 3D 2025 Tutorial 1 B – Settlement of a Foundation in Clay – Raft Foundation (Step-by-Step)

🎥 PLAXIS 3D 2025 Tutorial 1 B – Settlement of a Foundation in Clay: Case B – Raft Foundation (Step-by-Step) In this detailed tutorial, we continue with the second example from the official PLAXIS 3D Tutorial Manual: "Settlement of a foundation in clay". This video reproduces the modeling process and results for Case B – Raft foundation, following the official manual closely. It is intended solely for educational purposes. ⚠️ Disclaimer: This video is not an official tutorial by PLAXIS or Bentley Systems. It is an independently created walkthrough aimed at helping users understand how to operate the software. All copyrights and trademarks belong to their respective owners. 📌 Why this tutorial is useful: ✅ Step-by-step instructions with no skipped steps ✅ Final results match the PLAXIS tutorial manual example ✅ Covers both soil and structural element modeling in PLAXIS 3D ✅ Essential for engineers who want to learn how to model raft foundations 📚 Tutorial Overview: This case modifies the previous rigid foundation model (   • 🎥 PLAXIS 3D 2025 Tutorial 1A - Settlement ...  ) so that the basement is represented by structural elements. This allows not only the calculation of settlements but also the evaluation of structural forces in the foundation. The raft foundation consists of: A 50 cm thick concrete floor slab stiffened with concrete beams 30 cm thick basement walls modeled as plate elements A central column carrying a point load of 11,650 kN Basement walls carrying a line load of 385 kN/m Distributed load of 5.3 kN/m² applied to the floor slab Additionally, the clay material is updated so that its stiffness increases with depth, making the model more realistic compared to Case A. 🧠 You’ll learn how to: Save the project under a different name Modify existing soil data sets Define soil stiffness variation with depth Model structural elements (plates and beams) and assign material data Apply point loads, line loads, and surface loads Delete phases and reconfigure calculation steps Activate/deactivate soil volumes and structural elements Manage load activation in phases Zoom and navigate effectively in the Output program Draw cross-sections and review structural output (forces, moments, deformations) 📐 Model Description: Foundation type: Raft foundation with floor slab, beams, walls, and column Soil type: Lightly overconsolidated lacustrine clay with stiffness increasing with depth Geometry simplification: Quarter model with symmetry boundaries Structural elements: Slab (50 cm), walls (30 cm), beams, and column Loading: Point load, line load, and surface distributed load Case B: Realistic raft foundation with full structural interaction 🧪 Validation: ✅ Results are consistent with those in the PLAXIS 3D Tutorial Manual ✅ Provides structural forces and displacements, unlike Case A ✅ Excellent foundation for learning how to model structural–soil interaction 🌐 For more tutorials and geotechnical FEM content, visit GeoAutoTools.com.
