Interface Behavior
• Soil‐structure interaction
➢ Wall friction
➢ Slip and gapping between soil and structure
• Soil material properties
➢ Taken from soil using reduction factor R
➢ Individual material set for interface possible
• Suggestions for R

The behavior of pile elements can be divided into a normal behavior and a tangential behavior. First, the
normal behavior between the pile and the surrounding ground is considered as fixed and rigid, whereas the
tangential behavior is a nonlinear elastic behavior.
The graph bellow represents the relative displacement between the 2 bodies and the friction when yield force
is defined.
The Pile tip element works as solid-point interface that presents the relative behavior between the ground
elements and pile node.
To define the behavior, the material and property of a pile element can be entered based on test data, such as
Load Test.

Results – Modeling Time
• Ability to operate the programs
• Learning and layout of MIDAS GTS NX
• Time of 2D FEM vs 3D FEM
• 3D modeling can be challenging until the program functions are learned in depth.
• Modeling time depends on the complexity of the problem
• 3D modeling and analysis approximately 6 times longer than 2D modeling
