soil type

Post by faraz »

hello, Could you help me with defining the soil type in seismostruct?
I want to place my structure on a soft soil and I don't know how to define or model it.
thanks in advance

Link elements - such as the soil-structure-interaction element - are potential candidates for modeling interfaces between structures and the supporting soil. There is no single answer to this question. A discussion with your supervisor to establish modeling strategies for your project should get you moving faraz. Best of luck.
