Robot Continuous Foundation Design

[MRizea]

Hello all,

I curently designing a 2 story concrete building. I finished with the structure and now i would like to use Robot in calculating the foundations. Usualy i'm using manual calculations made in excel. But this time i would like to use Robot.

The soil seems to be very bad in the location of the site: conventional pressure of the soil 150kPa.

My thought is to do like this:

-remove all the fixed supports from my structure;

-model some reversed T concrete beams as the continuous foundations;

-assign elastic springs as support to the reversed T beams.

Now my questions are:

1. will Robot be able to dimension my concrete beams to the corect section ?

2. how will i determine the Kz coefficient ? does Robot now how to do that automaticaly ?

If you have any suggestions on how to do this, it will be appreciated.

Best regards,

MariusR.
