    Soil Springs in ULS and SLS load combinations

    Thanks, HTURKAK. I will check this out. Thanks, ATSE. I will keep your post in mind while sorting out my foundation.

    Soil Springs in ULS and SLS load combinations

    @r13 Thanks for pointing that out. That should also help keep pressure under foundations uniform as much as possible to reduce differential settlement.

    Soil Springs in ULS and SLS load combinations

    @steveh49 Thanks. Good point. I will investigate what happens with the soil in ULS range. Whether linearity still holds. @r13 Thanks. Noted. I intend to make a couple of iterations as follows: 1. Assign set of springs based on received geotechnical data. 2. Check bearing stress. 3. Check...

    Soil Springs in ULS and SLS load combinations

    Hi, I am making a structural FEM model of a hospital building. At the moment I am considering going with spread foundation. Footings for columns, strip footings for walls and larger bases for core walls. I wonder whether the same spring stiffness should be used in a structural FEM model for...
