Hi,
Any one has idea how to plot or find out shear velocity of the soil?
I want to make sure input Shear Modulus G0 ref gives same Vs output.
Is it possible to plot Shear velocity? In other words, how can we make sure that input Shear Modulus gives correct Shear Velocity for the soil?
I run into this problem frequently with staff engineers who are wanting to verify their input parameters. It would be very helpful if plaxis created a tool that provided all of the initialized stiffness parameters within a given soil column/stress range to confirm that the stress dependency formulations are performing as expected. Particularly for HSsmall and the generalize hardening soil model. It is not as straightforward as it should be to verify the initialized Gmax, E50, and Eoed, and Eur for example.
Good point.
I actually followed steps suggested by PLAXIS, I am not still sure if Gmax I input is ok, it is bit confusing if you see equation 75, I made calculation which I am not 100% sure if material input are ok, so if I could somehow verify from output results, then I could say input material property is ok.
Dear Hijratullah,
I believe that all your questions have been handled in various service requests exchanged with the support team.

Stefanos Papavasileiou I am curious regarding the same matter. In order to verify the input, how can we plot shear wave velocities after dynamic analysis, that uses HS small soil model.
