Foundation3D - Petrochemical Equipment Foundation Design

WINDOWS 2000/XP

Do you have to design a horizontal exchanger, horizontal vessel, or a vertical vessel/tower foundation with minimal information available to you such as equipment geometry, shipping and operating weights?
Would you like to have the wind loads on the above equipment generated automatically from just the equipment geometry?
Would you want the basic load combinations on the equipment generated automatically?
Would you like to save considerable time in reanalyzing your previously designed foundation now that the pile pattern is no longer symmetrical?
Would you like to analyze/design your pipe rack foundation for a number of load cases and different unfactored and factored load combinations?

Foundation3D is a spread and combined footing analysis/design tool that completes soil or pile supported foundation for industrial equipment such as horizontal exchanger, horizontal vessel, vertical vessel or tower, pipe racks and other miscellaneous plant design supports with minimal input.
- Allows multiple system of units for input and output - English, Metric and SI
- Supports ACI 318, BSI 8110, CSA A23.3 and IBC building codes
- Generates wind loads automatically for exchangers, vessels and towers based on ASCE recommendations
- Generates basic load combinations for equipment foundations automatically with just equipment geometry input
- Optimizes footing design (spread or combined) for an exchanger and horizontal vessel foundation depending on saddle to saddle dimensions and soil/pile criteria
- 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 for equipment or non-equipment foundations
- Accepts unlimitedtype and number of factored and unfactored load combinations for equipment or non-equipment foundations
- 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 the piers
- Allows you to change the longitudinal and tie bar arrangement in the piers
- Analyzes/Designs pier extensions (no footing) for octagonal piers for lighter vessel/tower loads
- 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
- Provides you the ability to bring design sketches into Microsoft Word or Excel
