This simulation used Abaqus for cyclic loading on geocell-confined ballasted railroad foundations. The Drucker-Prager yield criterion was applied for ballast and soft subgrade. Hardening was used to simulate increased stiffness under repeated loading. The aim was to assess the impact of geocell reinforcement on reducing settlement and improving foundation performance. 🔧🏗️
Abaqus has applications in many fields, and this shows the power of Abaqus. 💪
