General Description

Rischio’s Shallow Foundation tool is software developed to evaluate the stability and load-bearing capacity of shallow foundations, such as isolated or strip legs, resting on different soil types. The program uses well-established geotechnical engineering methods to calculate:

• Ultimate and permissible load capacity
• Immediate elastic settlement
• Associated safety factors

If you are a new user, we recommend visiting the Tutorials and Verifications section and following the first tutorial. It will help you become familiar with the basic functions of the software and understand the overall workflow.

In this section, you will find detailed information about the software’s features, from model creation to explanations of each functionality and parameter. You will learn how to enter data, set up analytics, and navigate the interface.

The tutorials provide step-by-step instructions on how to use the various features of the software. They include practical examples, specific cases, and verifications from reliable sources so you can apply what you’ve learned and better understand the processes and results.

We recommend reviewing the tutorials to take full advantage of the tool’s capabilities.

This section presents the theoretical basis behind the methods and algorithms used by the software. It explains the conceptual framework that guides the analyses, facilitating the understanding of the fundamental principles of the program.

Understanding this theory is essential for the correct input of models and interpretation of results.
