Capabilities:

• Choice of analysis using either partial safety factors according to EC 7, DIN 1054:2010, Austrian Standard ÖNORM EN 1997-1 or global safety factors (DIN 1054 old) 
• System input and visualization using absolute heights 
• Soil properties can be selected from an expandable database of common soils 
• Consideration of vibro-displacement compaction after Priebe 

Bearing capacity: 

• Bearing capacity equations to DIN 4017 (2006/old), Terzaghi, Meyerhoff, Hansen or Vesic can be selected  
• Analysis of multiple footings of a single type (variation of footing width) 
• Analysis of single rectangular footings or single circular/annular footings 
• Consideration of multiple soil layers and determination of mean governing soil properties using a logarithmic spiral 
• Verification of the 5° condition, and correction through iterative reduction of shear friction angles that are above the current mean value 
• Consideration of berms an slopes 
• Consideration of the footing’s base inclination 
• Consideration of pre-loading for the analysis of settlements  
• Punching analysis for flexible and rigid footings (DIN 4017) 
• Optimization of the foundation’s dimensions possible 
• Creation of a footing analysis diagram with the bearing resistance design value or allowable soil pressure and a set of curves with resulting settlements as well as modulus of subgrade reaction contour lines 
• Presentation of analysis results as tables  
• Plan view of the footing (single footings) with forces, the core dimensions, settlements etc. 
• Presentation of the logarithmic spiral  
• Interface to the computer program GGU-STABILITY for the verification of the global stability 

Sliding, highly eccentric loads, limitation of misalignment: 

• Sliding safety analysis adopting user-defined friction angles possible  
• Computation of eccentricities for dead loads (permanent) and live loads (changable) 
• Verification of highly eccentric loads (EQU) and limitation of misalignment 

Settlements: 

• Settlement analysis at the characteristic points (DIN 4019)  
• Consideration of pre-loading possible

• Presentation of soil properties, general information on your analysis data, adopted standard, program name and version displayed in legends 
• Freely definable positioning and sizing of graphical elements and legends  
• Print or copy screen sections, e.g. for transfer to a word processor 
• Integrated Mini-CAD system for additional annotation of graphics
