Mat Foundations
The following enhancements have been made to general mod mat foundations.
- The ability to specify a soil density and units for the supporting soil has been added to the Default Properties form.
- The ability to add an irregularly (i.e., polygonal area) shaped surface load has been added.
Pedestal Design for Mat Foundations
The program now includes the ability to design pedestals on mat foundations. Specify a pedestal for column location by setting the Consider Pedestal option for the support in the Pedestal and Anchor Bolt form.
Calculate Subgrade Modulus from Soil Bearing Capacity
The ability to estimate the subgrade modulus using the soil bearing capacity is available for meshed regions of mat foundations in the Soil Property form. Click the button to open a dialog which can be used to evaluate and assign a value to the table.
The dialog opens to input known values (in selected units) and evaluate Ks.
