Ground improvment in Geostudio?

[Arapov]

I need someone who work in Geostudio. I have a problem. I am modeling a construction on driven piles near sea. Ground have several layers CL,CM or SM. I must do a ground improvment(vibro-replacment stone columns) in order to decrease moments and forces on piles. I have problem to model ground improvment in Geostudio. I cant change material properties in proces. How I can change material of region when I generate time steps? I try this way: first excavation, then change region properties and then fill but this doesnt work.

Kind regards,
Ivan Arapov

to solve the problem, divide your model into two files, first file should consists only model of excavation: initial state, then removing material, second file should consists: placing of the new material - representing improvment, you can
used a great feature of geoslope software to model things step-by-step, inside the second file you ve to state the stress and strain field from the first file, then change the properties of corresponding regions, hope you manage this successfully
