Submitted by R.Sabry on Sat, 05/02/2009 - 13:19 research Hi, I am Ramy, I am about to perform some analyses on laterally loaded pile groups in sandy soils, does anyone have any idea about the best constitutive model to use?, loading is static. And I am using PLaxis 3D foundations version 2.1 Regards, Ramy yawlou perhaps consider the following models I'm not exactly sure. But here are some suggested constitutive models for you to investigate. Drucker-Prager Cam-Clay Dafalias Manzari (seems like this is for sand) Although, it looks like plaxis 3d only allows the mohr coulomb model, in which case you don't have a choice??

Hi Rami,
I think Cam-Clay is more suitable for Clay soils. Try Mohr-Coulomb too.
