Soil Models specifies options for the soil model method to use and defines basic soil properties, such as undrained sheer strength, friction angles, and so forth. The modeler uses the values that you define to compute axial, lateral, upward, and downward stiffnesses, along with ultimate loads. Each set of soil properties is identified by a unique soil model number, starting with the number 2. The soil model number is used in the buried element descriptions to tell CAESAR II in what type of soil the pipe is buried. You can enter up to 15 different soil model numbers in any one buried pipe job.

  • Soil model number 1 is reserved for user-defined values.

  • The soil models you enter do not have to be used in the current job. This provides a convenient mechanism for soil property range studies.
