The constitutive models PM4Sand (Boulanger and Ziotopoulou 2017) and PM4Silt (Boulanger and Ziotopoulou 2018) for plane-strain earthquake engineering applications for sands, and clays and low-plasticity silts respectively are now available through Soilmodels. The links provided lead to the websites of the two models where users can find their manuals, the dlls (compiled dynamic link libraries for use with FLAC8 with cppudm and dynamic options), some example single-element drivers for four different loading conditions, as well as pertinent publications that demonstrate their use in different applications.
