Description

• Handles up to 50 support nodes & 500 LCs in a single run.
• SBC checked with user-specified LOC value (Teng’s chart used).
• Includes checks for 2-way shear, 1-way shear (both directions), sagging/hogging flexure (both axes), buoyancy/uplift, sliding (both directions) and overturning (both axes).
• Handles loads applied at both footing and pedestal level. Ideal forspread footings for PEB/warehouse, pipe-rack, sub-station, control room, factory, showroom etc.
• SBC increase factor, uplift FOS, sliding FOS, overturning FOS & restoring moment for overturning check are all load specific. This feature makes the software ideal for shallow foundation design for ‘blast-resistant’ plant buildings in O & G industry.
• Soil overburden calculated accurately based on footing location making it useful to economise PEB foundations for pinned & fixed bases.
• Uses design principles as followed by O & G industry viz. PIPs, DEPs and good engineering practices.
• Less than 5 minutes from import of support reactions until complete design with 6 sheets of detailed calculations including sketch for GA & rebar details.
• “Most economical design”using unit rates of concrete, rebar & formwork.
