Impedance Analysis in SSI

Post by sugandha » Mon Sep 28, 2015 11:46 am

Hi,

I am trying to perform impedance analysis for SSI using OpenSees. I can use ShallowFoundationGen command to create material for discrete springs but how do I model damping characteristics of soil? Is it inclusive in ShallowFoundation command?

Thanks,
Sugandha
