Static analysis of a space frame foundation structure
Abstract
Static analysis of the space frame foundation structure of a hotel in Yugoslavia is presented. The space model consists of grid beams and piles of different lengths and diameters. Piles are modeled as space beam elements in horizontal layered linearly elastic medium with different mechanical characteristics in two layers and a verticaly elastic stratum at the end of piles. The use of space element on linearly elastic soil stiffness matrix enables the calculation of complex foundation model with personal computers.
