Spread Footing – Design and verification of spread footings

This program for the design of spread footings subject to general loading. It computes bearing capacity, settlement and rotation of a footing, and determines required longitudinal and shear reinforcement.

Main features

• Analyses are based on a large number of theories (EC2, PN, IS, Brinch-Hansen)
• Various theories of settlement analysis (Janbu, Buisman, Soft soil, using index and coefficient of compression, secondary settlement according to Lade)
• Design of reinforced concrete according to EC2, BS, PN, IS, ACI
• Shapes of foundation - centric, eccentric, strip footing, circular, stepped centric, stepped eccentric, stepped circular
• Automatic design of foundation
• Generally layered soil environment
• Built-in database of soil parameters
• Arbitrary number of load cases
• Modelling of water
• Modelling of sand-gravel cushion
• Analysis of foundations on drained, undrained or rock subsoil
• Footing with fillet, stepped and circular footing
• Inclined shape of grouted slope
• Inclined footing bottom
• General shape of stress diagram under the footing due to combined bending and tension/compression
• Settlement analysis exploiting the oedometric modulus specified by the oedometric loading curve
