Description:
ELPLA (ELastic PLAte) is a program for analyzing slab foundations
of arbitrary shape with the real subsoil model. The mathematical solution
of the slab is based on the finite element method. The program can
analyze different types of subsoil models, especially the three dimensional
continuum model that considers any number of irregular layers. A
good advantage of this program is the capability to handle the three
solutions of flexible, elastic and rigid foundations, besides the
mesh of the rigid and flexible foundations can be constructed to
be analogous to the finite elements mesh of the elastic foundation.
So, the three solutions can be compared easily and correctly. ELPLA
can also be used to represent the effect of external loads, neighboring
foundations, tunneling and the influence of temperature change on
the slab.
The reinforcement of slab can be carried out by one of the following design codes: ACI, EC 2, DIN 1045 and ECP
