PLAXIS Swimming Pool Stability Analysis

I am building a public swimming pool that sits just 3 m from a small cliff. The upper 0.8 m of the profile is hard soil; below that the material softens. I already hold complete borehole logs and the full set of pool design drawings, which I will provide as soon as we start. Your task is to run a PLAXIS finite-element study (2D is fine, 3D if you feel it adds value) that focuses on possible sliding or overall stability issues created by the pool load, water pressure, and the nearby slope. The single most important outcome is a clear engineering justification on whether additional “strous” support is required or whether the current design remains safe without it. Deliverables • Native PLAXIS model file with all layers, material properties, stages, and load cases • Concise PDF report explaining modelling assumptions, strength parameters, boundary conditions, calculated factors of safety, deformation results, and your recommendation about the need for strous • One brief revision round to address questions or parameter tweaks after I review the first submission I will be available to clarify any geotechnical details from the borehole data or design intent while you work.
