Foundation Design and Analysis Software Efficiently produce optimum foundation designs for your entire structure, all. Continuous, and pile cap foundations.
Model courtesy of CBCL Ltd Define and Detail irregular shaped foundations with out without holes Design and Optimize Pile Foundations using linear soil springs or non-linear pile soil springs from Lateral (P-Y), Friction (T-Z) and Bearing (Q-Z) soil curves. Soil curves are automatically calculated from user-defined soil profiles, or optionally manually entered. Automated Interactive pick and drop tools allow you to quickly define the foundation configuration while S-FOUNDATION automatically generates and manages the underlying FEA model using proven S-FRAME Software meshing and solver technology. Design Wizards optimize foundations in a quick and efficient manner.
Integrated Runs as a stand-alone analysis and design foundation application or integrated within S-FRAME Analysis, with two-way data links that automatically apply foundation loading conditions and post processing, integrates the optimized foundation model with the S-FRAME Superstructure model for a more detailed soil-structure interaction analysis. Optionally import support data ( locations, reactions, preliminary foundation design) from any 3rd party analysis package, to generate a design and optimize the foundations. Customizable Wizards expand the S-FOUNDATION core functionality, automate work flow and enable process sharing throughout an organization. Built-in Wizards design foundations, create foundations, import loads from third parties, attach footings to column bottoms and more. User actions are automatically recorded and can be exported into scripts for playback or saved customized further and turned into easy-to-use Wizards. Comprehensive Results View code check results to any desired level of of detail – including intermediate calculations, formulas and code clauses.
Filter results on multiple criteria to pinpoint area of interest. Advanced 3D model visualization, comprehensive and customizable reports in PDF or Excel ™ format. Support for soil types based on the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) FOUNDATIONS Geotechnical Checks Soil Bearing Soil Settlement Overturning Loss of Contact (Uplift) Horizontal Sliding Analyze using the Rigid method or Flexible (FEA) method PILES Geotechnical Checks For Piles modeled as reaction springs applied at the pile to pile-cap interface, S-FOUNDATION checks the axial force at the pile head, and the axial & lateral deflections. For the more advanced Pile modeling method, where piles are modeled as long members with intermediate linear or non-linear soil springs, S-FOUNDATION code checks the axial force at pile heads, and the axial and lateral deflections along each pile's entire depth.
