Bentley PLAXIS is geotechnical engineering software with finite element method (FEM) analysis that helps reduce risks and make informed decisions when designing soil and rock structures.
PLAXIS performs 2D/3D modeling of soil and structure behavior: deformation, stability, settlement, and the impact of excavations and underground construction. It supports complex materials and load scenarios.
Advantages
- Geotechnical accuracy: advanced material and soil behavior models.
- 2D/3D analysis: reliable modeling of real conditions and geometries.
- Parametric studies: sensitivity analysis and solution optimization.
- Integration: Data exchange with the Bentley ecosystem in infrastructure projects.
Areas of application
- Deep excavations: pits, retaining systems, environmental impact.
- Tunnels: stability, settlement, interaction with adjacent structures.
- Slopes and embankments: landslide risk assessment and stabilization measures.
- Foundations: bearing capacity, settlement, foundation-structure interaction.
Benefits for customers
- Risk reduction: early identification of hazardous scenarios and weak points.
- Cost savings: optimization of geotechnical solutions and materials.
- Better results: reliability and predictability of foundation behavior.
- Faster processes: consistent data and convenient exchange between disciplines.
