Model parameters of soft clay.

Soil parameter	ρ(kg·m^−3)	(MPa)	(MPa)	(kPa)				(m·s^−1)	n
Parameter value	1700	4.25	19.83	4.5	0.1	0	0	3 × 10^−7	0.6

Note: ρ is saturated soil mass density; is reference low-strain shear modulus; is reference bulk modulus; c is apparent cohesion at zero effective confinement; is an octahedral shear strain at which the maximum shear strength is reached; is friction angle at peak shear strength in degrees; is an optional nonnegative constant defining variations of G and B as a function of initial effective confinement; k is the permeability coefficient in horizontal and vertical directions; n is the initial porosity.
