SETAF2018 – Material Properties: Physical and Mechanical Parameters

This video explains how to define physical and mechanical parameters in the Material Properties window of the SETAF2018 software.

Key topics covered in this video

  • • Introduction to the Material Properties window
    • Physical properties tab (natural and saturated unit weight)
    • Selecting material type (clay, sand, etc.)
    • Mechanical properties tab
    • Effective stress parameters (c’, φ’, E’, ν’)
    • Total stress parameters (cu, Eu)
    • Automatically calculating undrained Young’s modulus using “Calculate” buttons
    • Wall-specific parameters (interface friction angle, K₀ coefficient)
    • This video is the second part of the SETAF2018 Material Definition Training Series.
