AUTOMATIC SPRING SUPPORT GENERATION FOR FOOTINGS AND

SLAB ON GRADE

INTRODUCTION:
STAAD.Pro V8i has a facility for automatic generation of spring supports to model footings and MAT foundations.

STAAD.Pro foundation support generator

STAAD.Pro has a foundation support generator with the following three options:

1. Footing

2. Elastic MAT

3. Plate MAT

In this blog, only the Footing and Plate MAT options will be discussed.

Option 1: Footing
Suppose a 10' tall (12" x 12") square column placed on a (8' x 8') square footing is to be modeled in the STAAD.Pro
3
environment. The footing is resting on soil with sub-grade modulus of 144 kip/ft . The engineer would like to model
the soil as spring supports.
 Figure 1: Physical and analytical models of a simple column on a footing.

This model can be easily created using the STAAD.Pro V8i interface. To assign the supports:

1. Click on the General -> Supports control tab on the left.

2. Click on the Create button on the right. The Create Support dialog box shown in Figure 2 will appear.

3. Select the foundation tab in the Create Support dialog box.

Figure 2: Create support dialog box.

Note that in this dialog box there are three options for generating the foundation support. In this case, the Footing
option will be selected.

4. Populate the dialog box as shown in Figure 3.

 Figure 3: Foundation Support Generator - Footing Option.

This footing has to be assigned to the stick model.

Calculations:

Area of the footing (A) = 10' x 10' = 100 sq.ft

Sub-grade Modulus (E) = 144 kip/ft3

Spring Constant (K) = (A) X (E) = 100 sq.ft X 144 kip/ft3 = 14,400 kip/ft

For a column reaction load of P=10 kips,

Support displacement (d) = P/K = 10 kips/14,400kip/ft X 12 in/ft = 0.008 in.

Figure 4 shows the displacement of node 3 in the STAAD.Pro model. Please note that the displacement is same as
what we have calculated above.

Figure 4: Displacement at node 3.

The STAAD.Pro model is attached in Appendix A of this document.

Option 2: Plate MAT
Suppose a (80' x 80') square MAT foundation is to be modeled in the STAAD.Pro environment. The MAT foundation
3
is resting on soil with a sub-grade modulus of 144 kip/ft . The engineer would like to model the soil as spring
supports.

(Physical Model)

(Analytical Model)

Figure 5: Physical and analytical model of a simple MAT foundation.

This model can be easily created using the STAAD.Pro V8i interface. To assign the supports:

1. Click on the General -> Supports control tab on the left.

2. Click on the Create button on the right. The Create Support dialog box shown in Figure 6 will appear.

3. Select the foundation tab in the Create Support dialog box.

4. Populate the dialog box as shown in Figure 6.

Figure 6: Foundation Support Generator - Plate MAT Option.

This support has to be assigned to the all the plates that represent the MAT foundation.

Figure 7: Foundation Support Generator - Plate MAT Option.

Figure 7 shows the influence area for node 342 which is connected to four plates (4'x 4') square plates (shown with
green outlines).

Calculations:
Influence Area for node 342 (A) = 4' x 4' = 16 sq.ft Sub-grade Modulus (E) = 144 kip/ft3

Spring Constant for node 342 (K) = (A) X (E) =16 sq.ft X 144 kip/ft3 = 2304 kip/ft

2
For uniform distributed MAT load of Q=0.2 kip/ft ,

2
Total force on Influence Area = Q X A = 0.2 kip/ft X 16 sq.ft = 0.32 kips

Approximate Support displacement (d) = P/K = 0.32 kips/2304kip/ft X 12 in/ft = 0.017 in.

Figure 8: Displacement at node 342.

Figure 8 shows the displacement of node 342 in the STAAD.Pro model. Please note that the displacement is same
as what we have calculated above. Figure 9 shows the influence area of node 342 in the STAAD.Pro output file.
Please note that the influence area of 16 sq.ft is same as what we have calculated above.

342.
