Modulus of elasticity - Es

hello

Is there a way to change the default Es modulus in "con_cc" material type?
I noted that it is setted to 23500000 KN/m2 for a compressive streght of 25 KPa. How is it calculated?

tanks a lot

Hi,

The answer to your query can be readily found in the Help System of the program.

Dear Seismosoft

I try to find my answer in the Help System of the program,but without any results, wehere do I look?

yet, where i can find the Kc expression proposed by Mander et al. [1989] ?

thank you very much

Dear Miki,

1) Help System -> Analysis Types -> Eigenvalue Analysis

2) In the publication itself (page 1808), or in publications that refer to it - a literature/google search should be of use.

Note: in a future version of the program, we hope to introduce automatic calculation of the confinement factor, to facilitate things for the user.
