The ground has 9 different layers of

soil

Four different stages of excavation

have been identified.
L1- Ground to Roof Slab
L2- Roof Slab to Ticket Slab
L3 Ticket Slab to Intermediate Slab
L4 Intermediate Slab to Raft Slab
The columns, barrets, slabs and D

wall have been modeled as

structural elements (beam elements).
On the next page a zoomed in view

of the D wall and columns can be
seen.
If you want to start this tutorial except definition of attributes and generation of all geometries, I
recommend that you need to see this tutorial from Step 6(page 35).

2. Structural Concrete is used in Slabs and Columns
GTS provides two types of materials, Ground and Structural. Ground is used to define material characteristics for t
hose elements which are used to represent soil/ground (like plane strain in 2D and solid elements in 3D).
Structural material is used to define the material characteristics of structural elements like beam/truss/plate etc,

Since the column is a composite section
we directly enter the properties of the sec

Barrets
Property is used to define the geometrical d

MIDAS IT Co., Ltd.
Procedure
1. The table on the right shows all
the Attributes created for
different soils.
2. Upper Clay Drained and Lower
Clay Drained have been defined

separately because their
properties are different during
drained and undrained behavior.
3. So the Drained behavior of Clay
will be simulated later on as a
boundary condition during the
modeling process.
4. In the next step we create the
Attributes for the Structural
