PyLiq and TzLiq material

Post by maryammf »

Hi everyone,

I wanna use PyLiq and TzLiq materials for the soil-pile interface in my modeling. In the material properties explanation, the timeseries for the mean eff. stress is needed. I have three questions related:

1. How shall I get this stress and implement in my material definition?
2. 'Pult' and 'y50' defined for these liquefaction materials are the same as ones used for Simple p-y and t-z materials defined by API?
3. How shall I get 'Pres' (residual peak resistance)?

Many thanks,
Maryam
