Bearing Resistance Failure

• Rectangular or strip foundations
• Optionally with eccentric column/wall

Soil:

• Any number of horizontal layers
• Freely selectable soil parameters
• Permissible base pressure resistance based on empirical values of DIN 1054

Ground surface:

• Horizontal or continuously ascending
• Any number of polygonal ground-surface sections

Groundwater:

• Stagnant groundwater can optionally be taken into account at any height level

• Any column loads for biaxial loading, if applicable:
  • Vertical concentrated load V
  • Horizontal concentrated load in the x- and y-direction (optionally acting at the top edge of the column or in the foundation joint)
  • Concentrated moments about the x-axis and the y-axis
• Any additional loads applying to the foundation as concentrated loads, line loads, or area loads.
• Free assignment of loads to types of actions according to EC 0 as well as to concurrency and alternative groups.
• General distinction between the definition of design loads and characteristic loads with automatic load case combination.

• Selection of the consequence classes
• Optional design in the transient (or persistent) design situation

• Simplified verification with base pressure resistances (either user-defined or taken from tables of DIN 1054)
• Optional verifications using the accurate calculation method:
  • Overturning
  • Sliding
  • Ground failure
• Optional settlement verification
• Serviceability via the verification of the gaping joint and torsion

• PDF
• Word
• Printer

• Various output profiles available for selection (brief, detailed, user-defined)
• Selectable graphic scales and font sizes
• Detailed output of individual load cases and associated base pressures
• Overview of the decisive load case combinations and their assignment to design situations (persistent, transient, accidental and earthquake)

• Tabular and graphical output of the selected decisive actions and base pressures for each selected geotechnical verification
• Verifications in the ULS (simplified with base pressure, overturning, sliding, ground failure)
• Verifications in the SLS (first and second core range, settlements, and torsion)

• Slabs by Finite Elements PLT
• Isolated Foundation FD+
• Block Foundation FDB+
• Mast Foundation FDM+
• Strip Foundation FDS+

With the additional option FDPro, the foundation programs FD+, FDB+, FDS+ and GBR+ can be extended to include:

• an earth pressure approach
• an inclined foundation base
• a seismic ground failure verification
• a ground failure – punching shear verification
• a bearing capacity calculation of the foundation soil with a table of design values of the base pressure resistance.
• a graphical output of the internal forces along the main axes

Note on the free 30-day demo
The additional option FDPro can also be tested for 30 days without a license. As soon as you call up a function from FDPro, you will be asked whether the function should start as a demo.
