دراسة عددية لمعامل الاستناد المرن في الترب المتماسكة باستخدام تجارب صفائح التحميل by منذر الزاوي, زينة زغيبي

“… A numerical simulation of plate loading test using finite element method (FEM) and Plaxis 2D in order to investigate the effective parameters on the modulus of subgrade reaction .Some real plate loading test are numerically modeled and calibrated using two types of material models: mohr-coulomb MC and hardening soil HS.The obtained results from MC are better than those obtained from HS, so material model MC is adopted to generate plate load settlement curves, for a group of soil classified by DIN –Code.The results shows that for the same soil parameters the modulus of subgrade reaction is decreased as the side dimension of  plate is increased and as the  plasticity of soil is increased then the   modulus of  subgrade  reaction is  decreased .  …”

Consolidated drained triaxial test on treated coastal soil and finite element analysis using PLAXIS 2D by Lankaran, Zahraalsadat Elias, Nik Daud, Nik Norsyahariati, Rostami, Vahid, Md. Yusoff, Zainuddin

“…The aim is to propose an optimum mixture to improve coastal soil’s geotechnical properties, especially in shear strength and stiffness. Two different material models, including lime/RHA and cement/RHA, were utilized to compare the performance of advanced constitutive treated soil samples against the Mohr–Coulomb material model. 8% lime and rice husk ash (portions of 1 : 2) were chosen to be replaced with cement, as an application of waste material can reduce the cost and environmental impact. …”
