Your Single Program Solution for Shaft Foundation Design

Shaft3D is a  shaft foundation design program that completes the design of a shaft in seconds. Drilled Shaft, also commonly known as Drilled Pier or Caisson, is a foundation design type commonly used in areas with poor shallow soils. With Shaft3D, you can complete your complex work process from inputting loads to obtaining a detailed design sketch in a matter of seconds.
 
Shaft3D supports following features and functions:
  • Allows multiple system of units for input and output - English, Metric and SI
  • Considers design of both straight and belled shaft sections
  • Allows input of multiple soil layers with different values of soil properties for each layer
  • Considers buoyancy effects in the calculation of bearing pressures and stability ratios
  • Accepts unlimited type and number of load cases
  • Accepts unlimited type and number of factored and unfactored load combinations
  • Allows input of axial loads and biaxial bending
  • Completes both rigid and finite element analysis of the shaft
  • Completes axial capacity analysis using various methods for computing end bearing and skin resistance
  • Displays critical parameters along the length of the shaft such as lateral deflections, soil pressures, shear forces and bending moments
  • Completes lateral analysis of any type of shaft such as a hollow steel tube or concrete shaft or any other
  • Completes concrete design based on rigid and finite element analysis
  • Allows you to choose the type of analysis for reinforcement selection in a concrete shaft
  • Provides multiple choices of longitudinal and tie rebar arrangement
  • Allows the user to change the longitudinal and tie rebar arrangement
  • Accepts anchor bolt arrangement for display on sketches
  • Generates material quantities
  • Generates a detailed design sketch of foundation plan, elevation and a section through the shaft showing reinforcement
  • Generates a  detailed input and output report with report customization capability
