Parametric Study of Analyses of Linear Inhomogeneous and Nonlinear Half-Space in Foundation-Subsoil Interaction
Authors: ,
Abstract: The solution of tasks of interaction of foundation and subsoil is more difficult the less accurate the input data. The modulus of deformability of the modeled area of subsoil varies smoothly with increasing depth. It was resolved by use of an inhomogeneous half-space. Two sets of FEM analyses were performed. Nonlinear elastic isotropic homogeneous half-space was applicated for the first set of FEM analyses. Linear elastic isotropic inhomogeneous half-space was applicated for the second set of FEM analyses. The parametric study shows comparison of resulting slab deformations obtained by analyses of homogeneous and inhomogeneous half-space.
