Modified Stiff Clay without Free Water
The following parameters need to be defined:
- Strain Factor (E50) - strain corresponding to 1/2 the maximum principal stress difference (typical values below)
- Undrained Shear Strength
- Initial Stiffness
The formulation for modified stiff clay without free water introduces an initial stiffness to modify the p-y curves of the Dry Stiff Clay.
