Ground Elevation Difference for Foundations

How can I take into account different ground elevations for foundations in RFEM 6?


Answer:

There is currently no option to automatically enter a ground elevation difference. However, the additional earth covering load caused by the sloped terrain can be modeled manually using an additional foundation load (concentrated load or line load)—to do this, it is necessary to convert the load distribution accordingly—see Additional Foundation Loads in RFEM 6 .
