Hi everyone,
I am trying to model a beam element inside a 3D solid element with a particular interest in the beam-solid slip interaction. An embedded beam element with interface slip would be ideal but unfortunately embedded elements are tied in ABACUS and the interaction can not be modeled...
Anyone have experience with hollow spun piles? I was wondering about the advantages and disadvantages of these piles. Also, any information on the standards and specifications used for their design would be helpful.
I am working on a foundation design for a property that has been excavated 25m below the ground surface. Would the site classification for seismic design be based on the soil properties from the ground surface or the soil properties from the foundation elevation (25m below ground)?
