Dear All,

I am modelling an existing building foundation, which is Pile raft foundation. Here I need to limit the Pile capacity. For example, some piles can only take 1500KN only. Beyond that ,the load will distribute to other piles and to the Raft slab. How can I simulate this behaviour. My initial pile spring value is 250000KN/m.

Please advise.

Thank you,
Regards,
Ashok.
