How to calculate the stiffness if area spring in SAP2000
(OP)
Dear Colleagues,
I'm currently preparing FEA model for steel circular tank tank. I would like to know to to calculate the area spring stiffness to simulate full contact between :
1- Tank bottom plate and RC beam
2- Tank Bottom plate and sand soil.
Thanks for your support and advice in advance.
