This program is used for the design of spread footings (spread
or strip footing) subject to general load. It computes vertical
and horizontal bearing capacity, settlement and rotation of a footing,
and determines required longitudinal and shear reinforcement (punching).
Main Features
Analyses are based on a large number of theories (EC 7, PN, IS, Brinch-Hansen, Meyerhof, Vesic, DIN 4017)
Various theories of settlement analysis (Janbu, NEN-Buismann, Soft soil, using index and coefficient
of compression, secondary settlement according to Ladd)
Verification analysis can be performed employing EN 1997-1, LRFD or classical approach (limit states, factor of safety)
EN 1997 – option to choose partial factors based on National Annexes
EN 1997 – option to choose all design approaches, consider design situations
Design of reinforced concrete according to EN 1992 (EC 2), BS, PN, IS, ACI, GP, SNiP, CSN
Shapes of foundation - centric, eccentric, strip footing, circular, stepped centric, stepped eccentric, stepped circular, spread footing with haunch
Automatic design of dimensions of spread footing foundation
Generally layered soil environment
Built-in database of soil parameters
Arbitrary number of load cases
Modelling of water
Modelling of sand-gravel cushion (SG bed)
Modelling of parameters between soil and footing bottom (friction coefficient, friction base-soil)
Analysis of foundations on drained, undrained or rock subsoil
Inclined shape of grouted slope
Inclined footing bottom
Verification of load eccentricity for bearing capacity and settlement
General shape of stress diagram under the footing due to combined bending and tension/compression
