SoFA: A free-to-use shallow foundation analysis software

Shallow Foundations, Foundation Design / Construction

SoFA is a free-to-use shallow foundation analysis software, which provides solutions for all three design approaches included in Eurocode 7.

In addition to this, earthquake loading according to Eurocode 8 can also be included in the calculations.

Furthermore, SoFA calculates settlements and bearing capacities of shallow foundations based on design code and literature approaches.

The software considers rectangular and strip shallow foundations and is very user friendly and has a simple interface.

Namely, the software can be used for the calculation of:

  • Static Bearing Capacity
  • Seismic Bearing Capacity
  • Immediate Settlements
  • Settlements due to Consolidation
