Interactive Generation and Calculation of Elastic Semi Infinite Space Models.

Elastic bedded foundation plates are often calculated in traditional manor taking into account of the bedding constant. In this way, the engineer disregards important effects of the interaction between structure and soil. FIDES-GroundSlab in contrast, includes the stiffness of the soil under the foundation plate by using the elastic semi infinite space model into the calculation. This soil-structure interdependency results as a rule to the formation of a settlement dell. If coexisting foundations are calculated, then the mutual interdependency of adjacent buildings will be automatically considered.
