Hi,
Highly appreciate if someone can share possible solution.
I am trying to calibrate Plaxis with DeepSoil. DeepSoil gives higher PSA at the surface.
Plaxis gives lower PSA at the surface
I suspect that material input in Plaxis do not correspond with DeepSoil.
One thing in particular I am not sure, is G/Gmax in Deep Soil.
Material used in Plaxis is HS small
I assume G0ref in Plaxis is G max in Deep Soil
G= E'/1-2v = 20000/2(1+0,2) = 8333,3 kN/m2
G/Gmax = 8333,3/180000=0,046
Inserting this small G/Gmax, DeepSoil will give way higher PSA.
Any one has idea what is the correct G/Gmax or how to calculate this from material input in Plaxis?
Thank you
