Strip Foundation

• Reinforced concrete with selectable concrete qualities and steel grades
• Different materials for the foundation and the wall (masonry optionally available for the wall)

• Square and rectangular foundations
• Optionally with eccentric wall
• Wall optionally made of masonry or reinforced concrete
• Offset wall can be shorter than the foundation

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 wall loads, if applicable, for biaxial loading:
  • Vertical line load Nz
  • Horizontal line load in the x-direction (optionally applying to the top edge of the wall or the foundation)
  • Horizontal concentrated loads in the y-direction
  • Linear moment about the y-axis
  • Concentrated moment about the x-axis
• Any additional loads applying on top of the foundation as line loads.
• Free assignment of loads to types of actions according to EC 0 as well as to concurrency and alternative groups.

• Bending design
• Shear force design
• Check whether an unreinforced execution is possible
• Design of the connecting reinforcement, if applicable
• Specification of mats and/or barsteel for the reinforcement

• 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 with associated base pressure shapes
• Overview of the decisive load case combinations and their assignment to the design situation (persistent, transient, accidental and earthquake)

• Bending and shear force design with detailed graphical and tabular output
• Output of the connecting reinforcement, if applicable
• Output of the unreinforced concrete, if possible and applicable

• 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)

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.
