Dear all,
Overall raft slab is 36" thick and i want to thicken raft upto 48" under the columns in order to control punching.
So what is the correct way to model the extra 12" thickness under Columns in SAFE (See the attached Pic.)
Option 1 : raft slab of 36" thick with MAT property and 48" thick slab with DROP property.
Option 2 : raft slab of 36" thick with MAT property and 12" thick slab with DROP property and adjust the 12"thick drop slab level by using offset command. Then assign Subgrade modulus to both Raft slab and drop slab.
Thanks.
