STAAD Foundation Advanced is a structural foundation design and analysis software. You can perform isolated, combined, pile cap and mat foundations or more complex foundations including horizontal vessel foundations, tank annular ringwall, lateral analysis of pile/drilled piers, and vibrational analysis for machine foundations. You can produce advanced calculation reports with to-the-scale footing sketches, graphs, and formulae with code reference along with CAD exportable detail, schedule, and general arrangement (GA) drawings. Certain functionalities from STAAD Foundation Advanced software are available in STAAD Advanced software. But to experience the full functionality that STAAD Foundation Advanced provides, such as mat foundations, you will need to buy a license of Structural WorkSuite or STAAD Foundation Advanced.
Here is a thumbnail view of a STAAD Foundation Advanced model of a mat foundation on piles supporting storage tanks in an industrial complex. The tanks were modeled using plate and solid elements with fixed supports in STAAD.Pro, and the reactions were imported into STAAD Foundation Advanced as loads on the mat. This model is shared by one of our long-time users, Aswathanarayana & Eswara LLP.
