Your Single Program Solution for General Multi-pier Mat Foundation
  • Do you have to design a mat foundation with multiple load cases and combinations?
  • Are the piers of varied shapes and located asymmetrically in both directions?
  • Would you like to compare the results of a soil and a pile supported foundation for the same problem?
  • Would you like to generate sections through the piers and the mat on the fly?

Mat3D is a general multi-pier mat foundation analysis/design tool that completes soil or pile supported foundation with minimal input. It is equipped with the following features:

    • Allows multiple system of units for input and output - English, Metric and SI
    • Supports ACI 318, BSI 8110, CSA A23.3 and IBC  building codes
    • Considers buoyancy effects in the calculation of bearing pressures, stability ratios and pile capacities for footing/pile cap design
    • Accepts unlimited type and number of load cases
    • Accepts unlimited type and number of factored and unfactored load combinations
    • Analyzes/Designs pile cap on square, and rectangular regular and irregular pile patterns
    • Designs square, rectangular, octagonal and circular piers
    • Provides multiple choices of longitudinal rebar arrangement in the piers
    • Allows you to change the longitudinal and tie bar arrangement in the piers
    • Analyzes/Designs square, and rectangular footings/pile caps
    • Considers wide beam shear and punching shear in footing/pile cap design
    • Provides positive and negative moment reinforcement in the footings/pile caps
    • Provides multiple choices of footing rebar arrangement
    • Allows the user to change the footing rebar size and spacing
    • Accepts anchor bolt arrangement on piers for display on sketches and construction drawing
    • Generates material quantities
    • Creates user-specified sections through the piers and the mat on the fly
    • Generates detailed design sketches of foundation plan, elevations and sections through the pier showing reinforcement
    • Interfaces with Autocad and Microstation to produce detailed construction drawings
    • Generates a summarized and a detailed input and output report
    • Provides you the ability to bring design sketches into Microsoft Word or Excel
