Hi, i am a new user of staad.foundation. I am doing an analysis of an existing mat foundation. I am trying to specify the concrete properties but I don't see any input area where i can do that. Does staad.foundation just assume a default value or is it possible for me to put in a concrete strengh and/or elasticity?
Also, I am wondering if it is possible to visually show the actual soil supports used in the model.
Hi,
You can specify the concrete properties. For this, go to Mat Foundation job > Mat slab analysis/Design options > Design parameters. Here you can provide the concrete grade, clear cover and reinforcement details.
There is no option available to view the actual soil supports used in the model.
