For the stability analysis of embankment dam, what should be the direction of horizontal and vertical seismic coefficient. 1.What is the meaning of a positive and negative coefficient for both vertical and horizontal case? 2. For eg. for the stability analysis of embankment dam for d/s slope what should be the sign for the…
Hello, In the case of a levee with multiple rows of anchors embedded in chalk, I perform a stability calculation by imposing a failure plane. My slope calculation does not converge (E994). I have tested different approaches: linear search and root finder. In the convergence graph, lambda never exceeds 0.2. Can it go beyond…
Hi for All. SIGMA W visualise only total pore water pressure. How can i get and visualise the excess water pore pressure ?????
Hi I have created two steady-state 2d groundwater models without and with an excavation and a drainage layer. I would like to compare these and get the difference in water levels/pressure. I cant really seem to find any way to do this so I would really like to hear from the expertise here. Best regards
Hi, I am modelling construction of a capping layer on top of the tailings. I use saturated model for tailings and unsat model for capping material. When I applied the first layer of capping layer, I get another water table at the top like a perched water table. I even use very low activation PWP and compressibility for…
Dear all, Is it possible to implement a user-defined constitutive model into Geostuido SIGMA/W? If yes, then what programming language is supported? Are there any examples for reference? I'd appreciate it for your help. Regards Chou.
Hello. I'm conducting a transient analysis to simulate the infiltration of runoff into a sump, but I'm encountering convergence issues. Despite trying all the suggestions from here, here and here , I continue to see red crosses in few steps (day 45-48). Upon reviewing my model, I noticed that the transition in saturation…
Hello, I am modeling the formation of a frozen body around a freezing pipe with flowing groundwater. When defining the materials I selected the "reduce flux in frozen soil". Looking at my results I still have water flowing through the frozen body. How can I make sure that the frozen body is impermeable? See also attached…
Hi, I'm working on a soil nail design. We used fully specified method, and I have encountered E994 error in a few of the slip surface's FOS. I am not entirely sure if I can change the slip surface. Anyone has an idea to fix this other than redrawing/tweaking the slip surface? I tried changing the drillhole dia, bond…
I am trying to model the effect of installing perforated pipe interceptor drains, within a sand and gravel trench. Would the trench itself have the drainage BC around it? Thanks
