Currently, STAAD.foundation supports three concrete codes: ACI-2005, BS 8110 and IS-456-2000. These foundations can be on soil or on piles. Load types can be predetermined or user-defined with a customizable automatic load combination generator. Wind and zip code based seismic loads can also be generated through a simple wizard-based input. STAAD.foundation can calculate footing plan dimension and thickness automatically. It designs for one way shear, punching shear, pile punching shear, and corner pile check. It calculates reinforcement along both axes (X and Z) and both faces (top and bottom). With its powerful 3D graphics, engineers can quickly identify and investigate displaced shapes, stress contour, soil pressure and reinforcement layout.
