Foundation Design Calculation
(English output version)
Foundation design calculation integrated program that uses ductility design method and seismic coefficient method based on the Japanese specifications

Price: 551,250Yen (New purchase) Release:July 2011 Foundation work

Release for the English-speaking engineers
In this product, the calculation sheet of 'Foundation Design Calculation' in "Foundation Design Calculation Ver.9, Pile Foundation Design Ver.9" was translated into English so that the English-speaking engineers who carry out the design work in Japan can understand the analysis result. The functions of Japanese version are inherited to this product.

Overview of program
Five types of calculation function such as calculation function of pile foundation, spread foundation, caisson, consecutive underground wall, steel pipe sheet pile foundation, and the judgment of liquefaction are all included in this program. In this development, the outputs of all of these functions were translated into English.

This development was performed based on Foundation Design Calculation Ver.9.03.00. The program's data structure is same as the Japanese version, therefore, they are compatible. This program complies with specifications and explanation for highway bridges, Design Standard Vol.2, Pile Foundation Design Handbook, Pile Foundation Design Handbook, and Steel Pipe Sheet Pile Design foundation Construction Handbook. This product can do verifications on an assumption that level1 and level2 earthquake has occurred.

Future Development
We will correspond to requests and opinions from users even after releasing the product so that this product will be able to be accepted by overseas engineers in future.

Only the output part was translated into English for the development of this product, however, we would like to develop it the complete English version by translating the interface and help files. We will improve and develop this product based on your request, so you will be getting more than you asked for in the future.
