Combined3D is a general spread and combined footing analysis/design tool for soil or pile supported foundations.
It has the following features:
- Allows multiple system of units for input and output - English, Metric and SI
- Supports ACI 318 and BSI 8110 building codes
- Considers buoyancy effects in the calculation of bearing pressures, stability ratios and pile capacities for footing/pile cap design
- Accepts unlimited type and number of load cases
- Accepts unlimited type and number of factored and unfactored load combinations
- Analyzes/Designs pile cap on square, rectangular and circular regular and irregular pile patterns
- Designs square, rectangular, octagonal and circular piers
- Provides multiple choices of longitudinal rebar arrangement in piers
- Analyzes/Designs square, rectangular and octagonal footings/pile caps
- Considers wide beam shear and punching shear in footing/pile cap design
- Provides positive and negative moment reinforcement in the footings/pile caps
- Provides multiple choices of footing rebar arrangement
- Allows the user to change the footing rebar size and spacing
- Accepts anchor bolt arrangement on piers for display on sketches and construction drawing;
- Generates material quantities
- Generates detailed design sketches of foundation plan, elevation and a section through the pier showing reinforcement
- Interfaces with Autocad, Microstation and SmartSketch to produce detailed construction drawings
- Generates a summarized and a detailed input and output report.
