Design Load

The worst load case reactions used to design the pad foundation are shown below, with the node
numbers, the axis and the force orientation.
The foundation has been calculated for each combination indicated. The values of the forces for
each node are highlighted in the table below.
Design soil Parameters

The bearing pressure has been considered as 100 KN/m2 and the soil has been assumed as granular.
With a bulk modulus of 25000 KN/m3.
