Concrete 2001Perth September 2001 Barcoo Outlet Culvert The Influence of Soil-Structure Interaction on the Design of a Buried Arch Structure Doug Jenkins Interactive Design Services
Focus: • Interaction of soil with deep raft foundations • Analysis methods for foundation design • Longitudinal effects on segmental culverts
Raft Bending MomentsFinite Element vs Beam on Elastic Foundations
Raft Bending MomentsModulus of Subgrade Reaction vs Fill Height
Conclusions • Advantages of finite element analysis: • Soil properties based on standard tests • Model complex foundations • Model complete structure • Model construction sequence • Beam on elastic foundations • Simple and quick • But calibration against finite element analysis essential
