piled bases tension loads
piled bases tension loads
(OP)
There has been a few discussions on modelling bases for piles using FEA and making the piles springs to model loads. How does this translate to tension in the piles? Axially the pile would reach design load (theoretically) and deflect thus sharing the load to the slab and into adjacent piles, hence the spring concept. Is this a true model though for tension loads present on the piles?
If a use a spring model i have no tension. If a use a rigidly supported model I have tension above my capacity.
