Description

DC-Software offers an extensive range of tools for foundation engineering and soil mechanics aimed at facilitating effective geotechnical analysis, as well as the planning, design, and sizing of foundations and retaining structures. The product line is primarily divided into two categories: DC-Foundation, which focuses on geotechnical calculations, groundwater management, and infiltration processes, and DC-Soil, which specializes in subsoil assessment through methods such as borehole profiling, geological cross-sections, geothermal drilling, historical load evaluations, and GIS integrated document management. Users can record geotechnical parameters in various formats, visualize subsoil investigation outcomes graphically, and conduct sophisticated calculations related to the stability of footings, slope and base failures, settlement issues, piles, reinforced earth structures, gabions, cantilever and retaining walls, excavation pits, soil nailing, underpinning, and other critical aspects of foundation work, typically adhering to applicable standards and regulations. Additionally, the software enhances collaboration among engineers by streamlining the documentation process and improving data accessibility for ongoing projects.

Description

Sol-load is a desktop application designed for geotechnical and structural engineers on the Windows platform, enabling the analysis of axial capacity and load-settlement behavior for individual piles situated in layered soil environments. It effectively computes both compression and uplift capacities by utilizing various methodologies, including API, USACE, and FHWA (Nordlund and Tomlinson), as well as Revised Lambda and several CPT-based approaches such as NGI, ICP, UWA, and Fugro, while providing nominal, ASD, or LRFD design values. The software employs nonlinear load-transfer analysis by generating shaft t-z and tip Q-w curves either from user-supplied soil data or predefined inputs. Additionally, the application addresses various workflows for driven piles and drilled shafts, incorporating factors like negative skin friction and neutral-plane evaluations, along with the analysis of CPT soundings and comparisons to actual pile load-test results. Users can easily export detailed reports in multiple formats, including PDF, Word, and Excel, accommodating both SI and US customary units for versatility. Designed for Windows 10/11, it operates with an online licensing system and allows for up to 30 days of offline functionality. Furthermore, users can take advantage of a complimentary 7-day trial period to explore the application's capabilities before committing to a purchase.
