ShallowCore presents an efficient solution for shallow foundation design in compliance with NEN9997-1 standards, allowing for both permanent and temporary structures. Through a streamlined process, this tool conducts a series of automated calculations based on input parameters such as soil characteristics, foundation loads and dimensions, and/ or slopes, ensuring thorough examination of all essential failure mechanisms.
One notable feature of ShallowCore is its capability for quickly optimizing foundation dimensions for specific load cases. By illustrating the variations in bearing capacity across a range of foundation widths or horizontal load orientations, as well as the impact of ground improvement thickness or groundwater level changes, users can fine-tune parameters to achieve optimal design and obtain tailor solutions to meet project requirements effectively.
In essence, ShallowCore serves as a valuable asset for engineers, facilitating rapid yet thorough foundation design. Through its quick calculation capacity, it empowers engineers to deliver efficient and robust solutions for a wide range of construction projects.
