About Course

“Comprehensive Foundation Design Software”

Get efficient foundation design and documentation using plant-specific design tools, multiple design codes with U.S. and metric bar sizes, design optimization, and automatic drawing generation.

STAAD Pro offers significant benefits in foundation design by automating calculations, optimizing material usage, and ensuring accurate results, ultimately leading to cost and time savings. It streamlines the design process, allowing engineers to focus on critical aspects of structural integrity and safety. 

STAAD Foundation Advanced provides you with a streamlined workflow through its integration with STAAD.Pro or as a stand-alone application. You can design virtually any type of foundation, from basic to the most complex ones. 

Course Highlights

This training will enable you to deliver any of these areas with ease

  • Easily model complex or simple footings, such as plant foundations supporting vertical vessels, horizontal vessels, tanks and other footings
  • Quickly model common foundations such as isolated, combined, strip, pile caps, and many more

 Simplify challenging scenarios such as vibrating machine foundation, lateral analysis of piers, or mat    design using FEA

  • Efficiently use your structural model with the foundation model through integration with STAAD.Pro, including automatically synced changes in both models
