Plate Attributes: Soil In-situ Stress

Description

Assigns the initial vertical and horizontal effective stresses for soil materials to selected plate elements.

The vertical direction is aligned with the gravity load case selected for the analysis.

Soil in-situ stress attributes are independent of load and freedom cases.

Dialog

Sv

Initial vertical stress.

K0

Horizontal stress ratio.

The horizontal stress applied is Sv multiplied by K0.
