Comparison between stress within the single-layer soil and multi-layer soil Abaqus

Description

Comparison between stress within the single-layer soil and multi-layer soil Abaqus

This example been chosen from Example 3.7 Sam Helwany book

In this example, we intend to simulate the vertical stress in a multi-layer soil and single-layer soil caused by a circular loading in the Abaqus software

  The geometric shape of soil has been considered in form of a cylinder with a height of 50 m and diameter of 100 m

The loading area is a circle and a pressure equal to 10 K Pascal is applied to it
