Say that I have a slab supported by 4 columns and the base is raft foundation. I have assigned area spring in compression only below raft.
I found that when the area spring is higher, the reaction of the column will be higher as well. I think this is incorrect, because the reaction of column depends on the loading above.
Can anyone help to explain this ? Perhaps my concept is wrong, can anyone help to explain what is area spring and its relationship with compression reaction ??
