It is a software for the calculation of the limit load of loose and rock soil. The software allows the calculation of bearing capacity factors. For each computation method it is possible to perform the analysis under drained and undrained conditions.

The program also performs the calculation of the elastic settlements, oedometric settlements, Schmertmann, Burland and Burbidge, it performs the verification to liquefaction using the method of Seed and Idris (1971).

Optional modules

3D Settlements: Computation of settlements with three-dimensional interference of the load areas. Load area can take circular or rectangular shape. Computation of differential settlements. Section line graphic. Settlements diagram. Settlements isobars. Load area import from DXF files.

Road Embankments: Analysis and computation of road and railway embankments.
