Raft foundation loads

[yagmurcankocak]

Good afternoon, The top of the raft foundation that I entered in the building will also be the basement floor of the building. Therefore, there are different loads in different regions (eg 500kg/m² in EU//3-4 region, 1 t/m² in BC//5-6 region). In order to define these loads on the raft, should I limit each zone to the slab edges separately and define the raft (then define it as G or Q on the raft from its own element properties table)? Or is there a different way? Good work, Yağmur Can KOÇAK

Hello, To define different loads on the beamless raft slab, you can create the raft in parts with the slab edges.
