Contact Stress in RF-SOILIN

When solving a foundation slab under a circular tank, I do not see the contact stress in the middle of the surface. What could be the cause of this?


Answer:

The problem lies in the setting of the governing load case, which affects the determination of the vertical springs. You have selected LC2, which is not suitable for this. This LC only contains the load along the perimeter. Therefore, the slab is lifted in the middle. The program does not determine any vertical springs for the middle part of the slab in the air, thus the surface is not actually supported there.
