Combined Footing
- Considers Rectangular, Trapezoid and Strip-Shaped
Footings.
- Columns can be Rectangular or Circular.
- Determines footing dimensions (length, width and
thickness).
- Calculates the Bending Moment and Shear (one way
action).
- Calculates the punching strength of concrete footing
(two way action).
- Calculates the required longitudinal and transverse
reinforcements.
- Loads can be live or dead, axial, shear and moment.

Rectangular Footing
- Biaxial analysis using modified finite element approach.
- Load Case input includes option of wind reversal.
- Create custom design load cases with user-defined
load factors.
- Specify an increase in allowable bearing pressure.
- Plotting of pressure, moment, and shear diagrams.
- Design of bottom and top reinforcement in transverse
and longitudinal directions.
- Full pedestal design as a short column. Ties, stirrups
and dowels are all calculated and sketched.
- Rebars may be chosen from any country. For example,
design a footing with ACI 318-99 but choose British
rebars for reinforcement.
- Individual units for each data item. For example,
length may be specified in feet while thickness is
in millimeters.

Retaining Wall
- Retaining Wall can be designed with a shear key.
- The heel length or toe length can be iterated on
to find the optimum length.
- Water level on the uphill and downhill side can
be specified.
- Any number of surcharge loads can be specified over
the back fill.
- Specify relative distances and eccentricities of
surcharge along with additional live load specification.
- Load Inputs include option of axial, shear and moment
on the top of the stem.
- Passive force can be either included or excluded
in the analysis.
- Retaining wall is checked against the sliding force
and overturning moment.
- Base depth and stem bottom width is checked against
the shear and moment.
- Reinforcement area is computed on the toe, heel
and stem.
- Rebars may be chosen from any country.
- Individual units for each data item. For example,
length may be specified in feet while thickness is
in millimeters.
