Respected ma'am/sir , I have few queries regarding the modelling of slope reinforced with roots in PLAXIS-2D. I need to model the interaction of soil with roots in plaxis, can anyone please help me in providing suggestions for it.
Nice to know about your work and it is very interesting work..Normally simulation of root is difficult, therefore, the root is simulated indirectly in PLAXIS with known mechanical properties of root stabilized soil..another method is assuming that the root as pile, so this method is called pile approach having very small diameter..Find attached sample research papers relevant to these approaches for your reference..all the best in your research..
