For the foundation design, Buoyancy and overturning stability checks are performed. Presently Soil above the footing area is considered for the stability checks. The software should allow the user wants to consider the dispersed soil weight for th...

There are several methods to model shear wall/slab/mat in staad CE, broadly by physical modeller and analytical modeller, as far as the analytical method is considered, slab/mat/shear wall can be modelled through various techniques, like plate ele...

Currently, SFA uses the highest corner pressure to design the foundation size bearing on soil. Please revise the SFA program to have an option for a soil supported foundation (versus a rock supported foundation) and provide revised foundation sizi...

I would suggest SFA to add an option exporting designed combined footing and raft foundation to RCDC for detailing as we know RCDC is powerfully in producing structural drawings

we conventionally add a new job and assign all the parameters from scratch while trying to replicate a similar footing desing within the same STAAD.Foundation file. however adding a cop/replicate/clone job might save time avoid the chance of missi...

Design of cantilever slab in RCDC should be added and also slab supported by beams on its two sides and its other two sides free or only three sides are supported by beams and the other side free.

Currently we cannot import Etabs latest version files in RCDC. Creating a .accdb file takes a lot of time. So this capability is essential

It would be helpfull if modeled floor slab analysed in STAAD.Pro to be imported in RCDC for designing
