VisualFoundation specializes in analyzing and designing concrete foundations, enabling structural engineers to model isolated, combined, and mat footings with soil-structure interaction.

Foundation Design

  • Graphical Modeling - Intuitive interface for defining geometry, loads, and supports.
  • Stability Checks - Evaluate sliding, overturning, and uplift stability.
  • Soil-Structure Interaction - Account for soil stiffness and bearing capacity.
  • Finite Element Meshing - Automatically generate and refine meshes.
  • Result Visualization - Display deflections, soil pressure, and moment contours.
  • Reinforcement Design - Specify reinforcement manually or optimize automatically.
  • Punching Shear Checks - Ensure shear capacity meets design standards.
  • Code Compliance - Support ACI 318, ACI 350, and CSA A23.3 specifications.
