Hi,
I am designing an integral abutment in Leap Bridge Concrete/RC-Pier and I am trying to model the passive earth pressure behind the abutment using soil springs. Is it possible to input soil spring properties in the program or is there another way to model the passive earth pressure for the integral abutment design?
Thank you.
Currently it is not possible to input Soil Spring Properties in the program .
I would suggest you to generate the Active pressure using the program. Please see the screenshot. This force will be generally in Positive direction.
Then using STAAD program (Where you can apply soil springs properties on the structural element) please calculate the equivalent Passive earth pressure force and apply that force on the abutment in the negative direction .
to input soil spring properties in the program or is there another way to model the passive earth pressure for the integral abutment design?
to input soil spring properties jumble solver in the program or is word unscrambler there another way auto clickerto model the passive earth pressure for the integral abutment design?
