Relevance of spring stiffness for pile cap analysis and design in S-FOUNDATION
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…

S-FOUNDATION Soil Bearing Pressure
How to calculate the soil bearing pressure underneath the foundation model. Lateral and vertical foundation pad loading can result in higher soil-bearing demands using the rigid approach compared to the flexible method. Based on an underlying FEA model, the flexible method considers the foundation pad's flexibility and…

S-FOUNDATION - Pile Forces, Stresses, Deflections, and Moments
S-FOUNDATION uses nonlinear ground springs to simulate the varying soil stiffness (PY, QZ and Tz curves) along the soil profile depth. The analysis results accurately determine forces, stresses, deflections, and moments within individual piles and compares them to design code requirements. We show how both graphical and…
