SO-Foundation

SO-Foundation calculates bearing capacity of shallow foundations considering both “shear failure” and “settlement”.

Hansen, Meyerhof, Vesic, Terzaghi and Eurocode methods are employed for the determination of shear failure. Elastic and consolidation settlements can be calculated using various options. Fully detailed reports are also presented.

Features: introduction of up to 20 soil layers, user is informed about the common ranges regarding input parameters. Pressure isobars are calculated and generated below footings. Determination of bearing capacity of shallow footings (Spread, Continuous and Mat) with different dimensions considering both shear failure and settlement (Elastic and Consolidation).
