 Analysis
Static analyses for any number of user-specified vertical load cases are
possible, and those load cases may be combined with each other into any
number of load combinations. Deflections calculated may include those
for both elastic and cracked sections, and load cases may have long-term
deflection multipliers for the nonlinear cracked deflection analyses.
Basemats and foundations may be subjected to overturning moments that
cause uplift. The program offers a nonlinear solution that accounts for no
tension in the soil springs, as well as allowing soil moduli to vary
throughout the model.
To account for orthotropic effects, a thickness may be specified in both
the X and Y directions for the slab properties. This can be useful to
model slabs that have primarily one-way behavior, where cracking may
be predominant in one direction.
Output may be viewed graphically (including soil bearing pressure
maps), displayed in tabular output, sent to a printer, exported to a database
file, exported to a CAD file, or saved in an ASCII file. Types of
output include slab and beam forces, reactions and displacements.
