Flexible and Smooth Strip Footing on a Stratum of Clay
Application ID: 2203
In this model, a vertical load is applied to the clay strata top surface and the static response and collapse load are studied.
The clay is modeled as an elastic-perfectly plastic material and the Mohr-Coulomb yield condition under plane strain is used. The response is studied using an associated as well as a non-associated flow rule.
This model example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
however, additional products may be required to completely define and model it. Furthermore, this example may also be defined and modeled using components from the following product combinations:
The combination of COMSOL® products required to model your application depends on several factors and may include boundary conditions, material properties, physics interfaces, and part libraries. Particular functionality may be common to several products. To determine the right combination of products for your modeling needs, review the Grille des Spécifications and make use of a free evaluation license. The COMSOL Sales and Support teams are available for answering any questions you may have regarding this.
