The Foundations module allows the geotechnical design which, depending on a country, is based on the requirements of the geotechnical codes, technical guidelines or, directly, on principles of soil mechanics. For this reason, the rules of the geotechnical design may be divided into the following groups of regional (national) requirements:
Irrespective of the parameters of the geotechnical design, the Foundations module allows for selection of a design code of provided (real) reinforcement of a footing. There are the following codes for calculation of the provided (real) reinforcement of a footing available:
The above codes may be used in calculations of reinforcement, analysis of punching and the requirements concerned with the provided (real) reinforcement.
