SIGMA/W Material Model Series: SANICLAY Material Model

In this webinar, we reviewed the new SANICLAY material models as part of the next segment of the SIGMA/W Material Models series.

Natural clays will generally exhibit anisotropic behaviour, in part due to the K0-consolidation stress history to which clays are often subjected. The SANICLAY material models are new additions to SIGMA/W that excel in the modelling of such anisotropic behaviour of clayey soils. They are useful for analyzing geotechnical structures constructed on soft clays.

Watch Seequent’s Vincent Castonguay:
• Introduce the SANICLAY soil models, their most important features and the difference between the two implementations available in SIGMA/W;
• Review of the model’s input parameters and how to adjust them from simple laboratory tests; and
• Review the SANICLAY material models in SIGMA/W.
