Hi,

Below friction stiffness values are available in CAESAR II configuration editor settings:
1) 1.75 e+003
2) 1.75 e+005
3) 4.38 e+006
4) 8.76 e+003
5) 8.76 e+004

Default stiffness value is 1.75 e+005

Normally, In client specification, friction factor (µ) value only given. There is no specific requirement about stiffness values.

Considering the low stiffness value of 1.75 e+003 is acceptable??
If not, kindly advice, what stiffness should be considered??

Since the effect of stiffness is very important, why different stiffness values are available in CAESAR-II settings??



Thanks,
