ENERCALC Structural Engineering Library
All modules in Version 6 conform to IBC 2006/2009/2012/2015, CBC 2007/2010/2013, ASCE 7-05/7-10, ACI 318-05/08/11/14, ACI 530-05/08/11/12, AISC 360-10, NDS 2015, 2012 & 2005.
The calculation module list is an ever-expanding set of structural calculations that provide analysis and design for the elements of a building. As requests are received from our users we develop additional modules ... and make use of the proven steel, concrete, timber, finite element analysis, and other engineering “solvers” we have developed.
Essential to any project are the standard construction products that the engineer will employ to develop the final structure. ENERCALC provides databases of all typical rolled steel sections, sawn wood and engineered lumber sections, material grades for steel and wood and small databases for concrete block and rebar. In addition the user can create their own steel section databases and also mark “favorite” items in all databases to simplify the work according to their most frequent needs.
ENERCALC software provides well designed calculation reports for all of its modules. Using the full capabilities of modern printers we combine highly readable font styles with well laid out calculation reports and integrated graphics.
The goal of our reports is to provide clarity and efficiency. This benefits the reviewing engineer and governmental plan check reviewer by providing well laid out, concise and thorough report that details the structural design. New technology has given us the gift of low cost color on printouts, and this benefits us all by allowing us to incorporate contrasting colors to call attention to warnings or overstress conditions.
All printouts conform to 8.5” x 11” typical United States paper sizes, and the user is also free to customize title block layouts and add company logos and a P.E. seal.

Rocscience Phase2 v9
Rocscience Phase2 v9.014 [Size: N/A MB] ... RS2 (Phase2 9.0) is a powerful 2D finite element program for soil and rock applications (RS2 = Rock and Soil 2-dimensional analysis program). RS2
can be used for a wide range of engineering projects and includes
excavation design, slope stability, groundwater seepage, probabilistic
analysis, consolidation, and dynamic analysis capabilities.
Complex, multi-stage models can be easily created and quickly
analyzed - tunnels in weak or jointed rock, underground powerhouse
caverns, open pit mines and slopes, embankments, MSE stabilized earth
structures, and much more. Progressive failure, support interaction and a
variety of other problems can be addressed. RS2 offers a wide range of support modeling
options. Liner elements can be applied in the modeling of shotcrete,
concrete, steel set systems, retaining walls, piles, multi-layer
composite liners, geotextiles, and more. Liner design tools include
support capacity plots, which allow you to determine the safety factor
of reinforced liners. Bolt types include end anchored, fully bonded,
cable bolts, split sets, and grouted tiebacks. One of the major features of RS2 is finite
element slope stability analysis using the shear strength reduction
method. This option is fully automated and can be used with either
Mohr-Coulomb or Hoek-Brown strength parameters. Slope models can be
imported or exported between Slide and RS2 allowing easy comparison of limit equilibrium and finite element results. RS2 includes steady-state, finite element
groundwater seepage analysis built right into the program. There is no
need to use a separate groundwater program. Pore pressure is determined
as well as flow and gradient, based on user defined hydraulic boundary
conditions and material conductivity. Pore pressure results are
automatically incorporated into the stress analysis. Material models for rock and soil include Mohr-Coulomb, Generalized
Hoek-Brown and Cam-Clay. Powerful new analysis features for modeling
jointed rock allow you to automatically generate discrete joint or
fracture networks according to a variety of statistical models. With new
64-bit and multi-core parallel processing options RS2 can solve larger and more complex models in shorter times.

Plaxis 3D Foundation v1.6.0.193 [Size: 138 MB] ... PLAXIS 3D is a finite element package intended for three-dimensional analysis of deformation and stability in geotechnical engineering. It is equipped with features to deal with various aspects of complex geotechnical structures and construction processes using robust and theoretically sound computational procedures. With PLAXIS 3D, complex geometry of soil and structures can be defined in two different modes. These modes are specifically defined for Soil or Structural modelling. Independent solid models can automatically be intersected and meshed. The staged constructions mode enables a realistic simulation of construction and excavation processes by activating and deactivating soil volume clusters and structural objects, application of loads, changing of water tables, etc. The output consists of a full suite of visualization tools to check details of the complex inner structure of a full 3D underground soil-structure model. PLAXIS 3D is a user friendly 3d geotechnical program offering flexible and interoperable geometry, realistic simulation of construction stages, a robust and reliable calculation kernel, and comprehensive and detailed post-processing, making it a complete solution for your daily geotechnical design and analysis.FineSoftware GEO5 2016
Solutions for Most Geotechnical Tasks: GEO5 is designed to solve most geotechnical tasks, from the basic ones (verification of foundations, walls, slope stability), up to highly specialized programs (analysis of tunnels, building damage due to tunneling, rock stability). Each GEO5 program solves definite structure type, so the customer can only select those he needs.
Combination of Analytical Methods and FEM: Analytical verification methods provide effective and rapid structure design and verification. It is possible to transfer the analytical model into the FEM program, where the structure is verified by the finite element method. Comparison of two independent solutions contributes to increasing the safety and objectivity.
Rocscience Settle 3D
Rocscience Settle 3D v2.016 [Size: 28 MB] ... Settle3D is a 3-dimensional program for the
analysis of vertical consolidation and settlement under foundations,
embankments and surface loads. The program combines the simplicity of
one-dimensional analysis with the power and visualization capabilities
of more sophisticated three-dimensional programs.
You can quickly create complex soil profiles and loading conditions,
and view results in 3-dimensions. Modeling can be staged, and
time-dependent consolidation analysis can be performed including primary
and secondary consolidation (creep) at user defined time intervals. A
variety of linear and non-linear material types can be modeled.
Groundwater elevation can be staged and horizontal and vertical drainage
conditions can be specified. Circular, rectangular or polygonal load shapes can be defined with
uniform or variable load magnitudes, and flexible or rigid foundations.
Loading can be staged and applied at any depth (e.g. to simulate piles
or raft foundations). Excavations can be defined and loads applied
within excavated areas. A special embankment designer allows you to
easily define multi-stage layered embankments. Back analysis options
allow you to determine the pre-load fill height or time required to
achieve a given settlement. Settlement, stress and pore pressure are computed throughout the
3-dimensional volume, and results can be contoured along any horizontal
or vertical plane, or plotted along any line. Settlement deformation can
be viewed in 3-dimensions, magnified by a user-defined scale factor.
Data presentation is highly interactive, and contours and graphs are
updated in real time as you change the data type, depth or location.
Results can be exported to Excel with a single mouse click.
