    The document provides modelling parameters for different soil types that can be used in PLAXIS, including modulus of elasticity, undrained cohesion, compression index, and stress dependent stiffness.

    Soil type, density, plasticity index, and correlations with SPT N-values are some of the parameters used to model different soil types like sand, silt and clay in PLAXIS.

    Modulus of elasticity of soil depends on factors like soil type, dry/saturated unit weight, plasticity index and shear strength.
