STAAD Foundation v09.07.02.099 [Size: 588MB 
] ... STAAD Foundation Advanced CONNECT Edition, a software package for the analysis and design of a variety of foundations. These include general foundation types such as isolated, combined footings, pile caps, slab on grade or on piles (mat foundations), octagonal, strap, and, plant foundations such as vertical vessel and heat exchanger foundations. A part of the STAAD family of products, STAAD Foundation Advanced can import and update the geometry, loads, and reactions from a STAAD.Pro model after which it will design the foundation type that we want at those supports.

If the type happens to be a pilecap, it can determine a number of pile arrangements and design the pilecap for the arrangment that we choose. Data can also be brought from spreadsheets (e.g., such as that in Microsoft Office Excel) into STAAD Foundation Advanced. The output from the program includes customizable reports of the calculations performed, general arrangement drawings, and schedule drawings. The reports are a useful tool for line by line checks to determine the correctness of the calculations if the engineer wishes to do so. The program’s graphical interface enables users to view the displaced shapes, shear and moment diagrams, stress distribution, and, reinforcement layout.

Features of STAAD Foundation Advanced CONNECT Edition: Design a wide variety of foundations, from simple spread footings to complicated mats and specialized machinery pads, with the extensive support of international standards. Apply wind and seismic loads using built-in load generators. Calculate loading parameters automatically. Combine lateral load cases with gravity and other types of loads using load combination generators. Analyze machine block foundations for dynamic loading. Leverage wizard-based input for fast finite element analysis (FEA) solids model creation, various loading, and soil spring options.

ASDIP Foundation v5.0.0.1 [Size: 10 MB] ...
ASDIP Structural Foundation is a software designed to calculate the types of foundations and foundations. With this program you can design concrete foundations according to the latest IBC and ACI 318 standards, and get comfortable with repetitive and time consuming calculations. Each structure uses a special foundation or foundation based on the purpose for which it was built. For example, some structures use wide foundations. Some of the other are band strips and maybe synth strips. No matter which real implementation you are going to use. This software is capable of performing all kinds of foundations with accurate calculations and high speed. We advise structural engineers to use the ASDIP Foundation to reduce the design time and calculations required for their concrete foundations. This product is provided by ASDIP Structural Foundation, which specializes in the field of construction structures.
