if we know the density of concrete then how to calculate weight per meter per meter, in Plaxis while giving material properties to Plate.
divide the volume of the concrete plate-element (if you are dealing with a retaining wall) by the length of the the small side of the section.
Thanks for Response....
in my case heigh of retaining wall is 8 meter and depth of plate is d= 0.849m
so what would be w= ?
Thickness of retaining wall x out of plane thickness (1m) x Density of concrete =w, this w will be kN/m for each 1m depth, then unit will become kN/m/m.
A good explanation to your problem and more can be found at Article Common Mistakes on the Application of Plaxis 2D in Analyzing...
it means that the weight of structure for each 1 m. it can be computed by dividing the total weight of structure to the height of the structure.
