Hi,
In ROBOT I am trying to accurately assess the deflections of a retaining wall formed from a series of concrete encased steel plunge columns.
Has anyone ever done something similar before?
I have currently modelled the wall as UC columns with elastic nodal supports (using the spring stiffness calculated for the soil) below formation level to represent the soil. Is this a reasonable method or can anyone suggest a better method?
See the image below for a screenshot of what I have currently modelled.
Any help or suggestions would be apprectiated!
Thanks!
