Ali Naghshineh has been developed the physical and material modelling of a cooling

tower-foundation-soil system. The physical modelling has been carried out using solid twenty-noded

isoparametric element to model the cooling tower, annular raft foundation and soil media. The cooling

tower-foundation-soil system was analysed under vertical and lateral load generated due to self weight

and wind loads. The soil nonlinearity has been taken into consideration using hyperbolic non-linear

elastic constitutive law. The response of the structure has been investigated with respect to

displacement and stresses. Moreover an attempt has been made to study the effect of the linear and

nonlinear interactive analyses compared with conventional analysis. It was seen that the interactive

analysis of the cooling tower-foundation-soil media plays a major role in releasing the stresses in the

cooling tower, particularly at the bottom ring beam.
