Analysis Model
- Soil-structure-interaction: nonlinear, iterative solver for the
calculation of slab displacements and corresponding soil settlements
- Developed for practicing engineers (no expertise in nonlinear FE analysis required!)
- Calculation of settlements with the 3D ground model of LARIX:
Input of mechanical properties of the soil is reduced to one parameter (Modulus of subgrade reaction)
- Calculation of the slab displacements according to the building model of CEDRUS
- Nonlinear characteristic of pile specified with a load-settlement diagram

Foundations
- Slab with raft foundation
- Slab on piles
- Slab with piled raft foundation
- Support of multiple, interacting bottom slabs in a single building model
|
Foundation types of slabs
|
Loading
- Vertical load of bottom slab taken from building model
- Additional terrain load from single or distributed loads
- Additional ground load from footings
|
Input of pile characteristic
|
Analysis Process
- Modelling of building and definition of foundation slabs in CEDRUS
- Calculation of foundation loading with the stacked slab model
- Export of building data to LARIX
- Input of 3D ground model and nonlinear calculation of settlements,
bedding of slabs and piles in LARIX
- Import of calculated slabs and piles from LARIX
- Design of slabs in CEDRUS
|
Resulting settlements
|
Results
- Slab bedding for given loads
- RC design for bedded slabs
- Design of piles and slabs against punching
- Settlements of the building and surrounding terrain
