Response of a rectangular plate-column system on a tensionless Winkler foundation subjected to static
and dynamic loads
K. Guler and Z. Celep

 
Abstract
    The response of a plate-column system having five-degree-of-freedom supported by an elastic foundation and subjected to static lateral load, harmonic ground motion and earthquake motion is studied. Two Winkler foundation models are assumed: a conventional model which supports compression and tension and a tensionless model which supports compression only. The governing equations of the problem are obtained, solved numerically and the results are presented in figures to demonstrate the behavior of the system for various values of the system parameters comparatively for the conventional and the tensionless Winkler foundation models.
 
Key Words
    rectangular plate; plate-column system; tensionless foundation; Winkler foundation; static and dynamic loads.
