soil interaction model in sap2000
soil interaction model in sap2000
(OP)
Hi...
I'm trying to model soil structure interaction on sap2000
I'm solid elements to represent the raft and soil
I want to get moment from this model to compare it with anthour model where i represented the raft as shell element and soil as springs but sap2000 gets stresses for solid elements only so :
1- how can i get moments from solid elements in sap 2000?
2- Is there any thesis that discuss this point in soil interaction ?
thanks a lot

Is it OK when you solid elements to present the raft and soil? They are different material. Can define link element (like gap) to present this connection.
