Read MoreHello everyone,
I am trying to figure out in which cases it is acceptable to use a consolidation analysis instead of a plastic one in PLAXIS.
What is the difference between a very long term consolidation analysis and a plastic one in mainly saturated clay conditions?
Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone,
I recently started exploring automations in PLAXIS through python scripting and was wondering if there is any website/community where people share their automation scrips.
Hi
There is no community hub that I am aware of.
PLAXIS scripts are shared by our team here: https://bentleysystems.service-now.com/community?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0107775
And we offer free onboarding training here: https://lms.seequentlearning.com/catalog/courses/3594249
Kind regards

Hello people, do you know any free software available for thermal load calculation of building?
Is it advisable to do the exploratory drill holes in the tunnel alignment as it would puncture the tunnel and then we have to fill the hole by grouting material that always create zone of weakness. One of consultant suggested to drill the borehole in the centre line of alignment in rail tunnel. As per understanding sideways drilling is ok but puncturing the tunnel by drilling is not so good. Kindly please put some light with reference literature.
A rail tunnel is probably about 6 m in diameter. A borehole is probably less than 100 mm in diameter. For a 1 m advance in the tunnel the borehole represents less than 0.03% of the volume. Having said that, it does depend to some extent on the nature of the material. Is it sound rock, sheared rock, weathered rock, hard soil, firm soil, soft soil? Also the holes should always be properly backfilled and grouted. This is often overlooked as no one is watching. Horizontal drilling gives a much higher proportion of useful information, but to cover a significant amount of advance requires a long hole which is difficult and expensive. Drilling along the alignment is easier, but gives relatively little information about the tunnel face, and for deep tunnels includes a lot of "dead" drilling.
It is always advisable to perform number of drill holes along the tunnel alignment (if it is feasible /accessible) prior to excavation. The location of proposed drill holes must be physically checked by geologists/engineers involved in the field. Preference should be given in stream / nala sections. The findings from the drill hole shall assist you better during actual excavation works w.r.t planning and precautionary measures, excavation methodology etc.
Thanks
Is there any agency who are performing field large scale direct shear test on rock fill materials in India.
Your question is quite broad, and providing an accurate answer requires more specific details. Our team has extensive experience beyond India and collaborates with local companies on various geotechnical projects. If you can provide more detailed information, Id be happy to assist further
yes , in India CSMRS is central agency which do large scale direct shear test .
