[esp-r] Re: model the ground

[Ferguson, Alex]

How large is your floor? The BASESIMP correlations have proven very
robust for ground-couplings up to 12x12 meters. Sensitivity analysis
suggests they can be used for larger foundations, but we have not
carefully investigated their behaviour in this regime.

Subject: [esp-r] model the ground



Dear All, 

 

I am modelling a solid concrete floor and I am using the ground monthly
profile to determine the boundary condition, however I have unrealistic
results. Does anyone know what is the best way to model a solid concrete
floor that is in direct contact with the ground? 

 

Thank you in advance, 

kind regards. 

Arianna
