Finite element analysis of pile-reinforced slopes

This project involves a numerical study using two dimensional (2D) and three dimensional (3D) finite element analysis for pile reinforced slope with cohesive soil. Numerical study is done using Plaxis 2D and 3D finite element software. 2D analysis is carried out initially to assess the factor of s...
