1
Drained:Water is assumed to immediately flow out upon loading and therefore no pore pressure are built up. This is appropriate when
Permeability is high;Rate of loading is low;Short term behaviour is not interest for problem considered.
Undrained:No water movement takes place and therefore pore pressure are built up. This is appropriate when:
Permeability is low and rate of loading is high;Short term behaviour has to be assessed.

Mohr-Coulomb parameters in terms of effective stress

Mohr-Coulomb parameters in terms of total stress (only undrained condition)

Method A: Analysis in terms of effective stressType of material: undrainedEffective strength parameter c’, ’, ’ Effective stiffness parameter E50’, ’
Method B: Analysis in terms of effective stressType of material: undrainedTotal strength parameter c=cu =0, =0Effective stiffness parameter E50’, ’
Method C (Analysis in terms of total stress)Type of material: drainedTotal strength parameters c=cu =0, =0Total stiffness parameters Eu, u=0.495
6
Single set of parameters in terms of effective stress;Realistic prediction of pore pressures;The undrained analysis can be followed by a consolidation analysis;Cu is consequence of the model, not an input parameter.

10
Parameters in terms of total stress and effective stress;Prediction of pore pressures;(generally unrealistic);The undrained analysis should not be followed by a consolidation analysis (pore pressure unrealistic)Cu is an input parameter.
11
Parameters in terms of total stressNo prediction of pore pressure.The undrained analysis cannot be followed by a consolidation analysis.Cu is an input parameter.
12
Method ARecommended, but be careful with MC model;Soil behaviour is always governed by effective stresses;Increase of shear strength during consolidation;Essential for exploiting advanced soil model, such as hardening soil model;
Method BOnly when no information on effective strength parameters is available;Maybe a safer choice than Method A;
Method CNot recommended;No information on excess pore pressure.
