Abstract:This study investigates the influence of the structureto-soil relative rigidity on the structural behaviour of shallow foundation. The effect of change in the material and geometrical properties on the critical soil pressure intensity, bending moment and shear force of spread footings and rafts is investigated numerically using the finite element method. The parameters that are addressed in the analysis include the foundation thickness, soil modulus of subgrade reaction, concrete modulus of elasticity and plan… Show more
