Hi everyone,

this is the first time i use plaxis to analyse MSE Wall (Mechanically Stabilized Earth Wall)..

if i look at the toolbar, the reinforcement only available "geogrid", and if i open the properties material of geogrid on plaxis, there is only elastic (i can only adjust value for EA, if needed) and elastoplastic (i can adjust value for EA and Np, if needed).

is "Np" on plaxis means tensile strength (allowable) of geogrids or ultimate tensile strength ?

how if i change the reinforcement from geogrid (extensible) to steel strips (inextensible) on Plaxis, which the material i use for it?

or, can you give me a link tutorial MSE Wall with plaxis?

Note : i use Plaxis 8.2
