Layer Information

The material parameters for each layer can be entered in the Layer Information.  

 

Layer No.

Layer numbers are in order sequence and automatically generates the number one as the default layer no.

 

Name

Enter layer name.

 

Thickness of Layer

Enter the thickness of layer.  When Bedrock is selected, the entry window deactivates.  

 

Unit Weight

Enter the unit weight of layer.

 

Maximum Shear Modulus (Gmax)

Enter maximum shear modulus of elasticity.

 

Initial Estimate of Damping

Enter the initial damping ratio of  ground.

 

Maximum Shear Wave Velocity (Vs)

Enter the shear wave velocity  of ground.

 

Dynamic Curve Type

Click button to consider the nonlinear and inelastic behavior.  A "Strain Compatible Property Function" will be displayed.  

(Please refer to the Shear Strain Function "Dynamic Curve Type")

  • The entered layer list on the upper left side of the window may be viewed, and selecting a layer will show the layer information.  Click the   button after the layer information has been modified to save the information.  

  • Any layer can be chosen from the layer list to copy or delete, and buttons can be used to change the order of the layer.
