while doing Non linear Pile Soil interaction Analysis i am getting following errors can you explain me why i am getting those errors.
The error message tells that some command lines(for pile definition) in PSI file were in wrong format which were not recognized by SACS. You may attach your psi file or give a screen shot here so that we can found the reason.
Thanks for reminding got it
Improper soil properties may cause this problem when perform non-linear pile-soil interaction analysis, please verify your soil input with soil report.
Can we use different yield strengths for piles and legs
Normally increasing the stiffness of soil could solve this problem and the question in your file comes from P-Y curve. I tried to reduce number of soil stratum to 6 instead of 47(soil data from top 6 stratums) and it works with no error
If i have pile penetration length of 50 meters
What I do is to make 6 stratums lines at depth 0,10, 20,30, 40, 50 for P-Y curve, and just use soil properties of top 6 stratums in your current PSI file(Ignore other 40 depths). In this case the analysis can be performed without error which tells us the current soil properties has improper stiffness for this structure. So you need to check py curve of each soil stratum.
