Simulation excavation of soil Abaqus

Simulation excavation of soil Abaqus

In this example, we intend to simulate the excavation of soil in the Abaqus software

Actually in this question , first the embankment is constructed and then the excavating operation will start 200 days after the embankment has been constructed

The excavating operation will be executed during 3 steps and each step involves the removal of 0.3 m of soil

The depth of excavation is 0.9 m

We used 9 steps in the question

The first step is for creating equilibrium in the layer of the soil

The second step is for constructing the first layer of embankment

The third step is for constructing the second layer of embankment

The fourth step is for constructing the third layer of embankment

The fifth step is a consolidation step with a time period of 200 days

The sixth step is for excavating the first layer

The seventh step is for excavating the second layer

The eighth step is for excavating the third layer

The ninth step is a consolidation step with a time period of one year

You can observe the excavation of soil in this picture
