S-FOUNDATION performs a series of different rigid and flexible code-checks on foundations, which are heavily influenced by not only the acting forces and the foundation's geometry, but also, the existing soil properties. Join us to learn how these results may vary considerably for two identical pile caps, and how the pile soil springs affect the foundation's rigidity and its structural behavior.
