How can I determine the foundation-node tributary areas necessary for spring-constant calculation?
Answer: To determine the tributary areas of foundation nodes, apply a distributed load of unit magnitude (1psf/psi/ksi, depending upon units), then each spring reaction will be equivalent to its tributary area.
