Is there any software for calculating civil engineering foundations?
Thread Content
I would like to ask fellow professionals in civil engineering: how is the foundation calculation sheet prepared? Is it a calculation report prepared by manually doing the calculations one by one, or does it, like most other fields, actually have its own secret weapon – some calculation software? I hope everyone will not hesitate to share their insights
Most of it is done through calculation software and toolkits, such as PKPM, Century Qiyun, and specialized structural design tools
Does the original poster not know about Guanglianda and Luban software? Bill of quantities calculation
What the poster is referring to is probably structural calculation
It depends on your level of expertise. Additionally, software isn’t a panacea – it’s important to ensure that the software chosen is suitable for performing the calculations you need. Simple basic manual calculations can be done quickly as well; Excel spreadsheets can also be used for calculations
PKPM, Century Qiyun, Explorer. I’ll just use these. For complex foundations, it’s more reliable to use manual calculations.
