SOIL WALL
Property
•Create Material
• Create material “soil” and “wall”
For soil properties :
• Density 20
• Young’s Modulus 66000, Poisson’s Ratio 0.2
• Friction Angle 30, Dilatation Angle 0
•Create Section “soil”
• Solid, Homogeneous
• Choose material have been created before “soil”
• Assign Section
• Choose “soil” area
• Done
• Section : “soil”
For wall properties :
◦ Young’s Modulus 28000000
◦ Poisson’s Ratio 0.15
•Profile
• Create “wall”
• Rectangular
• a: 1
• b:0.9
•Create Section
• Category: Beam
• Type: Beam
• Continue
• Choose profile name: “wall”
• Choose material name: “wall”
• Poisson’s ratio: 0.15
• Assign Section
• Choose “wall” area
• Done
• Section : “wall”
ASSEMBLY
•Assembly
• Create Instance
• Choose “wall” and “soil”
• OK
STEP
•Create two step “geoinitial” and “excavation”
•Change incrementation size to 0.1
•Change matrix storage to unsymmetric
Part (to create set)
•Go back to Part section
• Tools > Set > Create
• (The purpose is to determine interaction between soil and wall)
• Create two set “soil” and “wall”
Interaction
•Constraint > Create > Tie
• Node region > Sets
• Select soil first (master)
• Then wall (slave)
•Create interaction
• Step: Excavation
• Types : Model change
• Continue
• Choose excavated region
Load
•Create Boundary Condition
• Two Boundary Condition (Side and Bottom)
•Create Predefined Field
• Select all soil region
•Create Load
• Type gravity
• Select all soil region
• Component 2 : -1
Mesh
• Choose part : soil
• Approximate size: 1
• Mesh control: quad, structured
• Element type: Plane Strain
• Choose part : wall
• Approximate size: 1
• No Mesh Control
• Element type: Beam
