Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to determine the correct method to simulate the seism behavior of a structure with a raft-type foundation, taking into account the elasticity of the soil using the Winkler hypothesis. This paper presents a comparison between two methods of modeling in the ETABS program a B + 7S structure that take into account the Winkler hypothesis for simulating soil elasticity. The first method includes in the FEM model, both the superstructure and the basement with raft foundation. The second method treats separately the two components of the resistance structure: the superstructure and the basement with raft foundation. Comparing the obtained results, the second analysis case is the recommended one for such building simulations in ETABS.
