Topic: about interface material model

Hi there:
              I am working with ATENA 3D(V4) to simulate the shear failure of one-way slabs.During modeling the loading and supporting steel plates,the  interface material model is needed to simulate the contact between the steel plate and concrete.So what confused me is that how to define the following parameters:the normal stiffness Knn,the tangential stiffness Ktt,the tensile strength ft,the cohesion C and the friction coefficient.Thank you much!

Re: about interface material model

Please see ATENA Troubleshooting, 2.2.8 I have problems when using the Interface (GAP) material on contacts.
