S-Foundation - Surcharge Load

Sumeet_23

Hello,

If I am adding 142kPa Surcharge Load in model as Tank load on Mat Foundation, why my Soil bearing capacity demand is 3-4 times more than total downward surcharge load + self wt of pad.

When I am applying load as point load in centre instead of surcharge load my soil bearing check is ok.

Hello Sumeet,

Thank you for getting in touch. I think it would beneficial for us to get a copy of your S-FOUNDATION file so that we can dig a bit deeper. Would you be able to create a Support Case via the Siemens Support Center, so that you can share your file with us? We'd be happy to look into it.
