Soil-Structures in OpenSees

Arman Milany (December 2017)

Elements:
- Single-phase formulations → dry soils (Phase 1 – soil skeleton)

- Multi-phase formulations → saturated soils (Phase 1 → soil skeleton / Phase 2 → pore water)

Materials:
- nDMaterial
Linear Elastic Material model: nDMaterial ElasticIsotropic $matTag $E $v
Elasto-Plastic Material models: - J2-Plasticity Material (von Mises)
)Small Deformations( - Drucker-Prager Material (UW)
- Cam-Clay Material (Berkeley, UW)
- MutiYield Materials (San Diego)
- FluidSolidPorous Material (SanDiego)
