Ground slab supported rock

[luismrf]

helli,

i want to calculate a ground slab supported in a lyme stone rock, but i don´t know what is the approprietad value of the Kz KN\m3, is it possible find this value in the RSA?

Thank you.

Hi @luismrf ,

If you have a rock, you can input a very high Kz value, considering that the settlement will be close to zero.

thank you,

@Romanich , but how high 1000 000 kN\m3, 1000 000 000 kN\m3?

thanks.

Hi @luismrf ,

1,000,000 kN/m3 means that you will need 1000 kPa to get a 1 mm settlement, which seems reasonable. However, if you have a geotechnical report, you can check there.

hello @Romanich ,

that´s great thank you for the clarifications the results and the displacements seems much better now
