In the Geotechnical Analysis add-on, it is possible to select the stiffness modulus method (known as "RF-SOILIN" from RFEM 5) as soil modeling. The solution includes the following features:
- Realistic representation of the interaction between a building and soil using a surface support according to the nonlinear iterative method
- Consideration of several soil samples (probes) at different locations, also outside the building
- Consideration of groundwater level as well as side effects due to excavation and the fixed lowest soil layer
- Calculation of elastic foundation coefficients for each individual element
- Stiffness modulus method for any (number of) combinations
- Transfer of foundation coefficients for further combinations
