🎥 PLAXIS 3D 2025 Tutorial 1C – Foundation in Overconsolidated Clay - Pile-Raft (Step-by-Step)

🎥 PLAXIS 3D 2025 Tutorial 1C – Foundation in Overconsolidated Clay - Pile-Raft Foundation (Step-by-Step) In this tutorial, we extend Tutorial 1 from the official PLAXIS 3D Tutorial Manual: “Foundation in overconsolidated clay”, focusing on Case C: Pile-Raft Foundation. This example investigates how embedded beams (piles) can be used to reduce the settlement of a raft foundation constructed on lightly overconsolidated lacustrine clay. ⚠️ Disclaimer: This video is not an official tutorial by PLAXIS or Bentley Systems. It is an independently created educational walkthrough. All copyrights and trademarks belong to their respective owners. 📌 Why this tutorial is useful: ✅ Demonstrates how to model pile-raft foundations in PLAXIS 3D ✅ Shows how to define embedded beams to represent bored piles ✅ Explains how to copy and arrange multiple piles efficiently ✅ Perfect for geotechnical engineers studying foundation–soil interaction and settlement control 📚 Tutorial Overview: The model represents the settlement behavior of a building foundation on overconsolidated clay. In this case, embedded beams are added to the raft foundation to represent bored piles that help reduce displacements. 🧠 You’ll learn how to: Use embedded beam elements to simulate piles in PLAXIS 3D Define material datasets for embedded beams Create multiple copies of entities to build the pile group efficiently Analyze load-settlement behavior of the pile-raft foundation Compare results with the plain raft foundation (Case B) 📐 Model Description: Foundation type: Pile-Raft Foundation Pile type: Bored piles modeled as embedded beams Pile length: 20 m Pile diameter: 1.5 m Soil: Lightly overconsolidated lacustrine clay overlying stiff rock Model width: 75 m (only one-quarter modeled using symmetry) Building: Basement + 5 floors 🧪 Validation: ✅ Consistent with the PLAXIS 3D Tutorial Manual ✅ Demonstrates the efficiency of embedded beams in reducing settlements ✅ Excellent case study for understanding pile–raft interaction in clay 🌐 For more geotechnical FEM tutorials and automation tools, visit GeoAutoTools.com
