 I am looking for the possibility of doing a safety calculation with different shear strength reduction (Msf) parameters for friction angle and cohesion. Is there a possibility to use this double shear strength reduction method to change the reduction</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 12</generator><item><title>RE: Safety calculations</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/734786?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Sat, 01 Oct 2022 07:39:52 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:a563460b-cacd-4192-a261-5ae04b0678e9</guid><dc:creator>Milinda Amarasinghe</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi Denis,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thank you for the explanation. It was really helpful.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best regards&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There is only 1 strength reduction factor in PLAXIS,SumMsf, which is used for both cohesion and tangent of the friction angle. Hence, it is not possible (neither in the GUI nor in scripting) to&amp;nbsp;use 2 different factors.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The only thing you could do is to directly change the values for cohesion and friction angle in the material set. But that would either require a lot of material sets, or you just overwrite the same material set every time.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With kind regards,&lt;/p&gt;
