Distribución de las Reacciones en Plateas de Fundación Bajo Carga Variable

Abstract

To find solutions for plates resting on elastic foundations the finite difference method is employed. Initially in the present case with a linearly distributed load applied, the settlements of the plate are determined depending of a general edge settlement factor α according with the statement presented in the XENIEF '97. Then, these results are considered to evaluate the necessary support capacity of the elements as beams and plates composing the structural device.
By the Mathematica system with N literary expressed, the problem is solved assuming α Values between 0 and 0,6. Finally, by means of a development in Excel system, the integration values according Simpson rule allows to provide the ratio (percentage) for the support reactions.
