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.
