SO-Foundation software computes shallow foundation bearing capacity using methods that account for shear failure and settlement. The software produces comprehensive reports. For additional details, visit our website.
SO-Foundation is a software program that provides accurate calculation of the bearing capacity of shallow foundations, taking into account both shear failure and settlement. The program uses a variety of methods including Hansen, Meyerhof, Vesic, Terzaghi and Eurocode for the determination of shear failure. Elastic and consolidation settlements can be calculated using a number of different options.
The software provides fully detailed reports, allowing users to easily assess the results of their calculations. Some of the general capabilities of the program include the ability to introduce up to 20 soil layers, informing the user about common ranges for input parameters, calculating pressure isobars below footings, and determining the bearing capacity of shallow footings with different dimensions.
Furthermore, the program also calculates settlement corresponding to the allowable pressure, calculates the modulus of subgrade reaction, and generates modulus of subgrade reaction contour on the footing surface. Custom load-settlement graphs can be presented, and results can be exported to MS Excel format. Calculation reports are created with sufficient details, allowing users to easily understand the results of their calculations.
Profiles can be created for desired settings and files can be saved with a minimal size, allowing for easy sharing and storage. To access the full capabilities of the software and download sample outputs, users can visit the company's website. It is recommended to view the calculation report included in the sample outputs to get a better understanding of the software's capabilities. Overall, SO-Foundation is a reliable and comprehensive software program for the calculation of shallow foundation bearing capacity.
