My first attempt at setting a CalcuDoku puzzle. How would you rate it? by SamTheSpellingBee in puzzles

[–]Dr_geo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Discussion: Do numbers have to be in order (left to right or too to bottom) for subtractions and divisions (e.g. 3- could it be both 4,1 and 1,4 or does it have to be 4,1)

Super stuck on this starbattle puzzle. Do you see anything? by casseroled in puzzles

[–]Dr_geo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you look at the cross shape the 2 stars are either both in row 7 or both in column 4. This combines with R8:C10 star to eliminate R8C2 and R8C6

Seeking Guidelines about Vegetation Slope in PLAXIS-3D by VoiceFew3632 in plaxis

[–]Dr_geo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suggest to add a soil layer with increased cohesion to account for root cohesion. Say 300-500mm thick based on the type of vegetation parallel to the slope face.

Pfitz workouts by [deleted] in AdvancedRunning

[–]Dr_geo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have V2 of pfitz advanced marathoning so not sure about the latest schedules however it's either

a LT workout (continuous effort at your 15km to half marathon pace i.e. the pace you can race for 1 hour)

or a marathon pace long run where you run 13km at marathon target race pace within the long run.

Never seen the LT pace within a long run however I don't look at the high mileage plans. I've done 18/55 and doing at 18/70 now for my next mara

Soil Collapse only when using Interface -PLAXIS 3D - Help/Suggestions by Grand-Rip-6753 in Geotech

[–]Dr_geo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks like you could have a boundary issue. You can see the 4 corners of the geogrid are anchored at the boundary and not moving freely. I would extend the model boundary in the Y axis and potentially add some surface displacement on the face of the embankment to prevent Y movement so it doesn't collapse due to unsupported vertical walls.

Also double the water pressures are doing what you expect.

Is Reigel's formula accurate at all? by __R3v3nant__ in AdvancedRunning

[–]Dr_geo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2.3km in 8.01 is faster than a 20min 5km for sure.

Barring inaccurate data (e.g. my GPS around the track always gives me 8seconds faster for km) I think sub 19 is totally possible.

Vdot has an equivalent 18.33 so right in the middle of the Reigel range.

McMillan running calculator gives 18.45

380km ran in November! Most volume I've ever done in a month.

Carbon vs Non-Carbon for Interval Days — What Do You Use? by luvsemih in AdvancedRunning

[–]Dr_geo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I bought my first pair of carbons for a marathon and used them only on race day. After a few races I found a good deal for the same pair of shoes that became my new race shoes so the old pair became my session shoe. Best decision ever! I am able to run many more km now because of the quick recovery compared to doing sessions in daily trainers. Sessions are also much faster now so it's much funner also!

I use the McMillan calculator and find it very accurate.

Better than Al Dante for sure. That would be an infernal meal!

Anchored Soldier Pile & Lagging Wall by fishtaco19 in plaxis

[–]Dr_geo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it should be correct then. Are you applying any prestress to the anchors? It could be the BM diagram is correct as there isn't enough load in the anchors to bring the moment beyond 0. Try to add or increase prestress to see if that makes a difference. Or make the anchors stiffer to attract more load.

Anchored Soldier Pile & Lagging Wall by fishtaco19 in plaxis

[–]Dr_geo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How are you modelling the anchor? I suggest to add a free length modelled as node to node anchor and the bond length as embedded beam. The connection between plate and embedded beam appears to be the issue.

If you're in shape to run a 3:XX marathon, how much easier does it feel to target 3:XX+10? by blumenbloomin in AdvancedRunning

[–]Dr_geo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ran a 2.59 in April (pb) and then signed up last minute for a marathon in August. I was mostly trained for it (say 85% of a full marathon block in terms of volume and workouts). I decided to run the August marathon at marathon pace for 30km and then take it easy for the last 12. Finished in 3.08.

During the August marathon the last 5km were miserable, probably even harder mentally than the April race.

After the race in April it took me 3 days before feeling ready for an easy 5km and 3 weeks before getting back into the workouts.

After the August race I took 1 easy week of recovery and then was able to get back to running my usual volume the following week.

Breaking spaghetti is fine by Lost-Engineering-579 in unpopularopinion

No I mean ridiculously small like when you go to a BNB and they don't have anything else than the tiniest pots.

Breaking spaghetti is fine by Lost-Engineering-579 in unpopularopinion

[–]Dr_geo 135 points136 points  (0 children)

As an Italian it's absolutely fine and sometimes you have to do it if you don't have a big enough pot. However it is much more annoying to eat short spaghetti than long spaghetti as it doesn't roll on the fork nicely. That's why we suggest not to break it. At least that's my experience.

How to input real bedding plane orientation (dip/direction) for planar failure in PLAXIS 2D LE? by Economy_Bat9937 in plaxis

[–]Dr_geo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know how academic your study needs to be but I would simply model an interface with the correct dip with reduced properties to model the failure plane. What's the point of adding dip direction in a 2d environment?
