Enhancements
- Complete Anchor Bolt Design – Save significant input & effort-intensive anchor bolt design (ACI 318) time through seamless integration of anchor
bolt analysis in Foundation3D, Mat3D and Shaft3D. View, use and modify anchor reinforcement required to resist tension breakout failure including development length recommendation - Generate HTML reports – In addition to Microsoft Excel report, generate various types of HTML reports such as aggregate report displaying material quantities of all selected workspaces, various rebar sizes used in all selected workspaces, 3D views including rebar layouts in pedestals and footings, calculation details including pertinent code equations and many more
- Use soil self-weight factor – In addition to the concrete self-weight factor, specify a soil self-weight factor for each load combination to complete foundation design considering scenarios with no soil cover over the footing
- Specify effective length factor in pedestals – Specify pedestal effective length factor in each orthogonal direction to consider desired slenderness effects
- Ignore Load Combinations – Ignore load combinations to consider many what-if scenarios
- Import geometry of multiple footings – Use Excel import of multiple footing geometries saving significant input time. Use our Excel support reaction format to import support reactions from any super structure design software and use the multiple footing geometry import to allocate footing locations easily
- Maintain the same pedestal top elevation – Change thickness of footing supporting multiple pedestals while maintaining the same top of pedestal elevation
- Estimate Shaft cost – Use material quantities generated by Shaft3D for both rigid and finite element analysis to estimate shaft costs
- Specify minimum pedestal longitudinal and tie bar size – View pedestal design results of all bar sizes between the specified longitudinal and tie minimum and maximum bar size
