• Simulating Oedometer test results

    Hi, May I please receive some assistance with the following query, I've been attempting to simulate laboratory oedometer tests using the Soft Soil Creep Model and the Soft Soils model and found that the curves don't seem to match. Please refer to…
  • Soft soil creep model- Initial condition

    Hi, I am using the soft soil creep model to predict the settlement due to consolidation and creep for a foundation. I am wondering whether it's necessary to introduce an intermediate (dummy) phase with large time interval after the initial conditions…
  • Sekiguchi-Ohta viscid _Input parameter

    Hi there, I have a question on how to determine the coefficient of secondary compression and the intital volumetric strain rate as part of the input parameters of the Sekiguchi-Ohta viscid model. The Material Models Manual suggests using a secondary…
  • Creep calculation in SSC model

    Hi everyone, I have a question about the creep formulation in the Soft Soil Creep model. The SSC model starts from the assumption that all the inelastic strain are creep strain and depends on the load application time. The volumetric strain rate…
