Proper foundation design is the cornerstone of a safe and economical structure. SIDA Foundation software has been developed to simplify and enhance the accuracy of designing isolated, strip, and mat foundations.
By importing models exported from CSI SAFE, the software performs the foundation design process intelligently and finally generates precise execution drawings in AutoCAD format.
All calculations are carried out in full compliance with the ACI code. Taking into account practical detailing rules, the software produces the most efficient longitudinal and transverse reinforcement layouts. By optimizing rebar usage and generating an accurate bar schedule (listofer), SIDA Foundation not only ensures technical accuracy but also delivers significant cost savings.
