Resolution of Geotechnical Engineering problems with Plaxis 2D

Abstract

The book consists of seven exercises, each of them easy to identify and relate to the different thematic units that students study throughout their training in soil engineering: safety factors in cuttings and embankments, soil consolidation, seepage flow under retaining structures, shallow foundations, diaphragm walls, and deep foundations. The book is designed to gradually learn the use of the software PLAXIS 2D, so a user with no previous experience with the software should follow the order in which the exercises appear in the text. This book and its contents are only for educational purposes. Its elaboration has been authorized by the PLAXIS brand, owned by the company Bentley Systems.
