S-FOUNDATION - The Rigid Method versus the Flexible Analysis Method Part 1

Judith

S-FOUNDATION offers two methods for analyzing reinforced concrete foundations: the Rigid Method and the Flexible Method explained in a two-part video series.

Part one shows:

• The differences between the rigid and flexible approach
• An example using a spread footing with a thin-wide slab

Part two presents:

• An example using an isolated footing with a smaller, thicker pad and large lateral load using both the rigid and flexible approach
• An example using an isolated footing with a smaller, thicker pad and a slight large lateral load using the flexible approach
