Density ρ = 2400 kg/m3, reference stiffness for primary loading, E50ref = 25 MPa, reference stiffness for unloading and reloading Eurref = 75 MPa, bulk modulus in compression Kc = 20 MPa, stress exponent m = 0.5, and Poisson’s ratio ν = 0.2.

Void ratio at reference pressure eref = 0.8, reference pressure pref = 100 kPa, and initial consolidation pressure pc0 = 1 MPa.

The stresses from the isotropic compression stage are considered as in-situ stresses, hence there is no need to model this stage explicitly. Instead a confinement pressure of 100 kPa is applied using the in-situ stress option in the External Stress node. Note that no boundary load is applied in this example.
