pystrata.site.SoilType

class pystrata.site.SoilType(name: str = '', unit_wt: float = 0.0, mod_reduc: None | NonlinearCurve = None, damping: float | NonlinearCurve = 0.0)

Soiltype that combines nonlinear behavior and material properties.

Parameters:

• name (str, optional) – used for identification

• unit_wt (float) – unit weight of the material in [kN/m³]

• mod_reduc (NonlinearCurve or None) – shear-modulus reduction curves. If None, linear behavior with no reduction is used

• damping (NonlinearCurve or float) – damping ratio. [decimal] If float, then linear behavior with constant damping is used.

__init__(name: str = '', unit_wt: float = 0.0, mod_reduc: None | NonlinearCurve = None, damping: float | NonlinearCurve = 0.0) → None
