Analysis and Design of Raft Foundations
GEMSai Raft Foundation Analysis is an advanced intuitive finite element modelling software for raft foundations by GEMSai.
Cloud-Based Platform For Geotechnical Analysis and Design
Rischio is a cloud-based platform for geotechnical analysis and design. Model foundations, retaining walls, and slopes within minutes from any device with an internet connection.
Structural Steel Design and Analysis
CalcSteel is an indie, bootstrapped structural engineering web application built by a small team to make professional steel design tools accessible and affordable.
Regularity in Plan According to Eurocode 8
RegEC8 checks the EN 1998-1 (Eurocode 8) criteria for regularity in plan of reinforced concrete buildings subjected to earthquakes starting from a DXF drawing produced in AutoCAD or similar programs.
IRONCAD is a powerful 3D CAD solution widely used in civil engineering, architecture, and product design. It combines parametric, direct face, and flexible modeling in a single system, allowing engineers and designers to create complex models efficiently without being constrained by rigid parameters or constraints.
Comprehensive Geotechnical Engineering
DartiGeo is a comprehensive geotechnical engineering software suite that integrates field data collection, laboratory testing, reporting, and design calculations — eliminating the need to juggle multiple standalone programs.
Efficient Design of Sustainable Concrete Structures
greenStruct is a cloud-based structural engineering and design platform with an award-winning interface for efficient design, optimization, and verification of concrete structures with emphasis on sustainability and CO₂ reduction.
Construction Dewatering Design Including Settlements On Neighborhood Buildings
This Excel spreadsheet refers to the dewatering design during construction and calculates the settlements of neighboring buildings.
Maple Flow makes it easy for engineers to brainstorm, develop, and document their design calculations. Maple Flow offers tools across the entire spectrum of math, science and engineering.
Airport Pavement Design and Evaluation
FAARFIELD, the FAA’s standard software for airport pavement thickness design and evaluation (AC 150/5320-6G, Airport Pavement Design and Evaluation) and pavement strength reporting using the ACR/PCR method.
Movements, Forces, And Load-Carrying Capacity Of Compressed And Flexural Elements
Application allows to determine the movements, efforts and resistant capacity of the compressed parts, leaned according to strong axis, weak and torsion with double section, capable of buckling laterally.
The following application allows determining the movements, forces, and resistant capacity of compressed pieces, bent along the strong, weak axis, and torsion with a double tee section, susceptible to lateral buckling.
