Description

Every project presents its own set of challenges, yet conducting geotechnical analysis can be straightforward with the right tools. PLAXIS 2D streamlines the process by offering rapid computational capabilities. It enables sophisticated finite element or limit equilibrium analysis concerning soil and rock deformation and stability, including aspects like soil-structure interaction, groundwater, and thermal dynamics. As an exceptionally powerful and intuitive finite-element (FE) software, PLAXIS 2D specializes in 2D analyses relevant to geotechnical engineering and rock mechanics. Used globally by leading engineering firms and academic institutions, PLAXIS is a staple in the civil and geotechnical sectors. The software proves to be versatile, accommodating various applications such as excavations, embankments, foundations, tunneling, mining, oil and gas projects, and reservoir geomechanics. Notably, PLAXIS 2D encompasses all necessary features for conducting deformation and safety assessments for soil and rock, without delving into complex factors like creep, steady-state groundwater, thermal flow, consolidation, or any time-dependent phenomena. This makes it an invaluable resource for engineers focused on efficiency and accuracy in their analyses.

Description

Sol-load is a desktop application designed for geotechnical and structural engineers on the Windows platform, enabling the analysis of axial capacity and load-settlement behavior for individual piles situated in layered soil environments. It effectively computes both compression and uplift capacities by utilizing various methodologies, including API, USACE, and FHWA (Nordlund and Tomlinson), as well as Revised Lambda and several CPT-based approaches such as NGI, ICP, UWA, and Fugro, while providing nominal, ASD, or LRFD design values. The software employs nonlinear load-transfer analysis by generating shaft t-z and tip Q-w curves either from user-supplied soil data or predefined inputs. Additionally, the application addresses various workflows for driven piles and drilled shafts, incorporating factors like negative skin friction and neutral-plane evaluations, along with the analysis of CPT soundings and comparisons to actual pile load-test results. Users can easily export detailed reports in multiple formats, including PDF, Word, and Excel, accommodating both SI and US customary units for versatility. Designed for Windows 10/11, it operates with an online licensing system and allows for up to 30 days of offline functionality. Furthermore, users can take advantage of a complimentary 7-day trial period to explore the application's capabilities before committing to a purchase.
