Interface material

Post by khatibi_m »

Dear silvia

I am studying nonlinear dynamic analysis of RC frame including
soil-structure interaction(2D). The finite element approach is used to
model the interaction system, which consists of structural frame
members, soil layers, and the interface between the foundation of
structure and soil.
I found "SoilFootingSection2d" material in web site Opensees, but I don't found in manual.
Does the material consider interface between soil and structure? How can I obtain information or example?
