How parameters interconnected with deformation and forces of the structures in the soil

Hi all, 

Can anyone explain how each soil parameter like stiffness parameters, strength parameters etc affect the structure deflection and forces with some explanations (if you have good source also please share) as i need to understand these things more clearly?

Thanks.

  • Dear Mr. Martin, 

    No problem, just share some ideas you have which will help me a lot (In Plaxis we can do the sensitivity analysis and find which is the most critical one, but before that, I need to know how each parameter is connected with each result like deflection etc. If I consider stiffness parameters that depend on the deflection but when it going into the plastic region then strength parameters come into action like that I need some relations). 

    Thanks.
