(usually 0.5m each)įind the soil spring stiffness based on your soil data and apply this as spring support.Īpply your load reactions on the top node as per your load calculations.ĭesign the structure as a column and you can get the reinforcement details
PILE FOUNDATION DESIGN IN STAAD PRO PRO
IF u use 3D solid element in STAAD Pro (you didnt specified which software used) you can get the deformed shape and internal stresses only and u cant get bending moment diagram because you may need bending moment diagram to find reinforcement requirement.įirst create a 2D beam element and split the beam with number of segments. You should create a 2D beam element instead of using 3D solid element.
There are many possibilities available, like we can use equivalent springs even Reinforcement inside the pile will not influence your soil-pile interation.Įssentially combined E of both steel and concrete can be assigned as an alternate option, however if modeled as solid element its better to include as solid itsef,Īctually when i did the study for SSI, i had modeled pile as 2d element and soil as solid element. No need to define the reinforcement bars just define the equivalent properties of pile (E, poissons ratio etc) Posted: Fri 3:48 am Post subject: Modelling Pile foundation Presume you are doing FEM - truss element would be enough How should i model the reinforcement within the pile? Should I create it as a 2D beam element or a 3D cylindrical element? I have modelled the pile foundation as a 3D cylindrical solid. I have to model pile foundation so as to study the soil-pile interaction.
