[View:/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/5932/Abutment_2D00_5.50m-_2800_EP_2900_.std:940:0]For, Example when we are designing abutment of bridge structures what we do is we put the axial load coming from the super structure in the location of bearings and we model the wingwalls, base slab etc. as plate elements. For lateral earth pressure hydrostatic pressure is applied. But, when we are arranging the piles the center of gravity of the loads will have to match with the load carried by piles. What can can be done in that case? I have also attached a model of an abutment as a sample.
