Plaxis - Structural Elements in Plaxis PDF

This document is about structural elements in Plaxis, a finite element software used for geotechnical analysis. It discusses different structural elements that can be modeled in Plaxis including plates and shells, anchors, geogrids, and interfaces. Plates and shells are used to model walls, floors, and tunnels. The document provides details on input parameters for plates, how to apply plate weights, and modeling fixed-end and node-to-node anchors. It also lists references for further reading on computational geotechnics and finite element analysis.
