Cohesive zone modeling – Law modification

  Hi all,
  
  I am implementing cohesive zone modelling for checking circular arc failure of soil slope (similar to method of slices assumption). I am placing cohesive zone elements on the circular arc. I would like to modify separation distance based debonding law in mixed mode by adding another parameter 'u'.
  
  i.e
  
  KnUn + KtUt - u
  
  where u corresponds for pore water pressure. This indeed alters the peak of traction separation curve. How can I do this?
  
  Thanks in advance.
