Reinforced Raft Foundation

• Wall and facing optionally of masonry or reinforced concrete
• Reinforced concrete with selectable concrete qualities and steel grades
• Different materials for the foundation, the slab, and the wall

• Square and rectangular foundations
• Eccentric arrangement of the wall
• Any geometry definable for the wall, the slab and the foundation to derive stiffness
• Pinned or flexurally rigid connection of the slab with user-defined stiffness factor
• Wall head with or without restraint or pinned support

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 for uniaxial effects of actions:
  • Vertical axial force Vz
  • Horizontal concentrated loads in the x-direction
  • Concentrated moments about the y-axis
• Optionally, additional loads can be defined in the foundation/slab connection if the connection is pinned.
• Optional inclusion of the self-weights of the wall, the facing, and the foundation independently of each other.
• Free assignment of loads to types of actions according to EC 0 as well as to concurrency and alternative groups.
• Automatic combination of loads for the calculation of the decisive design load case for each verification.

• Bending design at the foundation/slab connection
• Examination whether an unreinforced execution is possible
• Optional calculation of the connecting reinforcement in the upright reinforced concrete wall
• Centring in the flexurally rigid connected slab
• Simultaneous restraint in the wall and the slab is optionally selectable
• Durability verification via exposure classes
• Verification of the concrete compression stress and the steel tensile stress at the connection to the slab
• Crack width verification at the connection to the slab
• Consideration of different minimum reinforcement quantities
• The reinforcement dialog allows the definition of any reinforcement and arrangement

• Simplified verification with base pressure resistances (either user-defined or taken from tables of DIN 1054)
• Optional verifications based on the accurate calculation method:
  • Overturning
  • Sliding
  • Ground failure
• Optional settlement verification
• Serviceability via the verification of the gaping joint
• Calculation of deformation and torsion with consideration of the centring moments and the stiffness conditions
