RW0 [@Dennis Waterman] [@Micha van der Sloot] As the other

presentation is called Modelling groundwater flow maybe we
could use a more distinct name for the one ? "Modelling soil
pore pressure in PLAXIS" ?

Step 2: Create “Ground Model” using “Borehole Tool”

1. One soil layer of 4m thick

2. GWT at ground surface

Step 3:Create “Elastic Soil” and “General Tab”

Elastic soil
1. gamma-dry = 16 kN/m3
2. Gamma-sat = 18 kN/m3

Step 4: Create “Elastic Soil” and “Parameters Tab”

G = 5000 kPA
nu = 0.35

Step 5: Create “Concrete” data set.

Unit weight = 24 kN/m3 Elastic modulus = 5000 kPA

Nu = 0.15
