STAAD Foundation Advanced: the solution for reliable and efficient foundations
Design any kind of foundation – from simple to complex
STAAD Foundation Advanced is a complete solution dedicated to the design and analysis of structural foundations, with specialized tools for a wide variety of configurations. It allows the modeling of isolated, combined, piled, masted foundations as well as complex foundations such as horizontal tank bases or ring coats for tanks. The application also offers lateral analyses for piles and drills, as well as vibration assessments of machine foundations.
Analysis and design
International standards
Design a wide range of foundations, from simple superficial foundations to more complicated masts, to vibration shock absorbers for specialized machines, thanks to the comprehensive support of international standards.
Loads and combinations of loads
Apply wind and seismic loads using integrated load generators. Automatically calculate the loading parameters. Combine horizontal loads with gravity and other types of loads using load combination generators.
Vibration and collapse of machines
Analyze the foundation of the machine block for a dynamic load. Take advantage of the input wizard to quickly create solid models with finite element analysis (FEA), with various loading and soil elasticity options.
Detail and document
Drawings of reinforced concrete
STAAD Foundation Advanced generates drawings of planes, elevations and transverse views with rebar markers. Design planning produces a summary table of design results. Project study drawings include all the soles designed for the project, with network lines and markers that help identify interference. You can export drawings in DXF or DWG formats.
Create structural design documentation
Engineers can produce reports (summaries and detailed spreadsheets) for types of foundations such as isolated, combined foundations, bedbeds and factory equipment foundations. For mast foundations, a powerful reporting system publishes details of the main results of analysis, stability checks, detailed reports and summaries of concrete design operations, nomenclatures, project studies and detailed drawings of support available for ACI codes 318.
User Word
STAAD revolutionized the structural design process years ago, and still today, several years and later versions, it remains the most user-friendly solution, the favorite of most designers.
