If the type happens to be a pilecap, it can determine a number of pile arrangements and design the pilecap for the arrangment that we choose. Data can also be brought from spreadsheets (e.g., such as that in Microsoft Office Excel) into STAAD Foundation Advanced. The output from the program includes customizable reports of the calculations performed, general arrangement drawings, and schedule drawings. The reports are a useful tool for line by line checks to determine the correctness of the calculations if the engineer wishes to do so. The program’s graphical interface enables users to view the displaced shapes, shear and moment diagrams, stress distribution, and, reinforcement layout.
Features of STAAD Foundation Advanced CONNECT Edition: Design a wide variety of foundations, from simple spread footings to complicated mats and specialized machinery pads, with the extensive support of international standards. Apply wind and seismic loads using built-in load generators. Calculate loading parameters automatically. Combine lateral load cases with gravity and other types of loads using load combination generators. Analyze machine block foundations for dynamic loading. Leverage wizard-based input for fast finite element analysis (FEA) solids model creation, various loading, and soil spring options.
