Hi there
I am trying to model a deep excavation in unsaturated conditions. As I only have suction measurements during dry and wet periods, I have been trying to input then as pore-presure in the user-defined water condition of certain clusters (clay materials next to wall). However, it is not possible to input positive values (suction).
I am not sure if it is the best way of model this, I will appreciate any advise on this.
Regards,
Dear Eduardo,
The best solution is to pick a SWCC for the material that matches your measurement and perform your calculation allowing suction (by unchecking the option "Ignore suction").
With kind regards,
