How to modelate a soil in SAP2000?
(OP)
I wan to modelate a building with the soil. Because the structure could have settlement. Is a soft soil.
Wich parameters must i put in SAP2000 to modelate la soil?
Thanks.

Could you explain me? I do not understand.
RE: How to modelate a soil in SAP2000?
Soil - loose k=0.1-0.5 kg/cm3
- medium dense k=0.5-5
- dense k=5-10
- compact k=10-20
- hard k=20-100
you select joints at base then assign->point spring->kx ,ky,kz...etc.
i hope this help.

Is there any relation between coefficient of reaction (kg/cm3) of the soil and resistance soil support (kg/cm2)?
RE: How to modelate a soil in SAP2000?
where y is the displacement
p is the pression on the soil
k is the coefficient of reaction.

So exactly how that works?

- when we have a slab i leave the value force/cubic lenght. p=-ky .
- when we have a beam on elastical support we must multiply the value by the width ( b ) of beam and thus we have force/square lenght. p=-ky/b .

... and for point support we must multiply the value by the two plane dimenssion and we have force/lenght.

Could you give me the equation to transform stress(kg/cm2) into Moment(kg-m) in flexural design.
I want understand the transformation, and do it manually to comprobate.
How could I do that convertion?

*Internal Force and Stress Output*
The Shell element internal forces (also called stress resultants) are the forces and moments that result from integrating the stresses over the element thickness.....etc
