Live load 2 (F, H) -> Full and a half load on interior main beamsĬ. Live load 1 (F, H) -> Full and a half load on boundary main beamsī. Constrains - Global boundary conditions of soil solidĪ. Meshing all beam elements of building structure (size of column element: 1.5 m, size of beam element: 2.0 m)Īnalysis: 1. Meshing other solid with the size of elements 5Ĥ. Meshing the solid that is above pads, size of elements are 2, considering interior edges (foundation piers)ģ. Meshing: 1. Size control of all foundation piers are 2 interval (1 m for each beam element)Ģ. Linear elastic material for concrete B25 and Modified Mohr-Coulomb for soil To simply later procedures, some geometry sets are generated, they are: 1. "Auto connect" (Boolean operation) to generate shared faces between solids Imprint the contours to the solid (maybe this task is unnecessary)Ĩ. Imprint the lines that are created in step 4 to the solidħ. Create lines for columns and beams of the buildingĦ. Extrude the points upward 2m to model piers of the foundationsĥ.
Extrude the plane downward 18m, and upward 2m to model a solid ground massĤ. On the plane, create contours(faces) with dimension 3m x 3m (pad), 12 points in center of each pad.ģ. Create a plane dimension 24m x 48m at the depth -2.0mĢ. A pad foundation contains a pad and a pier.įor the configuration of the foundation in the above picture, the plate in model will be at the depth 2.0 m.
To answer this question, we should reconsider what a pad foundation is. How to model a building with pad foundations ? Because I am using MIDAS GTS NX, some important points in modelling, calculating and post processing are given in the entry series ‘MIDAS GTS NX’.ġ. As I mentioned in the first entry that this blog devotes to programming in finite element analysis using MATLAB, however I also want to consider some popular software for geotechnical analysis as MIDAS GTS NX or PLAXIS.
