Beam foundation is adopted in the case of combined footing supporting two or more columns. The combined footing is modelled structurally as a beam foundation resting on the soil. The sub soil may be modelled in several ways.

Beam Foundation Analysis (GEMS) is a feature rich, easy to use finite element modelling software for beam foundations. Package includes analysis of beam foundations using discrete spring-bed model and elastic half-space model.

Key Features

• One Click Computation: One click computation and analysis for all load cases and models.
• Analysis Models: Analysis of the beam foundation using both/either models.
• Load Cases: Multiple load cases could be considered.
• Beam Diagram: Graphical representation of the Plan and Elevation View of the beam foundation.
• Loading Diagrams: Graphical representation of loading diagrams for each load case.
• Unit System: Data can be input in either SI units or ‘Commonly used American units’ (Kips for force and foot for length).
• Export: Export results to Microsoft Word & Excel
• Loads & Moments: The loading may consist of several concentrated loads & moments.
• Uniform Loads: Multiple uniformly distributed loads can be specified.
• Beam Weight: Self-weight of the beam may be included if required.
• Beam Dimensions: Different depths and breadths could be given for the beam. RCC inverted T beam sections and RSJ s could be considered by prescribing EI values directly.
• Prescribed Displacements & Rotations: Vertical displacements and rotations could be prescribed if required.
