Geotechnical Analysis in RFEM 6
This article will discuss the procedure to calculate settlements and soil pressures for a reinforced concrete building by using the Geotechnical Analysis add-on in RFEM 6.

Compared to the RF‑SOILIN add-on module (RFEM 5), the following new features have been added to the Geotechnical Analysis add-on for RFEM 6:
- Creation of the layered soil as a 3D model from the entirety of the defined soil samples
- Recognized material law according to Mohr-Coulomb for soil simulation
- Graphical and tabular output of stresses and strains at any depth of the soil
- Optimal consideration of the soil-structure interaction on the basis of an overall model
-
The terrain surface of my soil to be analyzed is uneven. How can I edit the geometry of my soil massif for the modeling?
- What value can I use for cohesion in order to avoid singularities?
- I have a license of the Geotechnical Analysis add-on and it appears as available to me. However, I cannot activate it. What could be the reason?
- What value can I use for cohesion in order to avoid singularities?
