Material Tester – ManzariDafalias / SANISAND Calibration (Toyoura Sand)

[Omar Heshmat]

Hi STKO Team & Community,

I’m a PhD researcher working on soil-structure interaction (monopile foundations). This is my first time calibrating ManzariDafalias (SANISAND equivalent) for Toyoura sand.

SPECIFIC REQUESTS:
Material Element Testing + Material Tester STEP-BY-STEP:
· How to create a single SSPbrickUP element in STKO, node/mesh setup.
· Material tester setup.
· Single-element triaxial calibration test setup.
· Isotropic confinement p'=100kPa.
· Drained/Undrained cyclic loading protocol.
· Stress/strain path outputs.
ATTACHED:
• Table of Parameters.

Thanks in advance for any guidance.

Dear user, please start by creating your model and then ask one question at a time.
It will be easier to learn in this way rather than asking for a whole model.
