How can I define material and radiation damping of a soil in BNWF model (ShallowFoundationGen command)?

Post by Danielaait »

I am using Beam on Winkler Foundation model to represent the foundation. Since my ground shaking is not intense, I have chosen 'Foundation condition = 3' which is elastic vertical and horizontal springs.

Could you please tell me how OpenSees considers soil material damping and radational damping when I choose 'Foundation condition = 3'?

When I use ShallowFoundationGen command, how can I define material and radiation damping in OpenSees?




With kind regards,
Daniel
