    • Different Foundation Options (Pad Footings, Strip Footings, Pile Caps, Mat Foundations, Piled Mat Foundations)
    • Modeling and designing different types of foundations
    • Modeling of Pad Footings, Pile Caps, and Piled Matt Foundations
    • Designing Pad Footings, pile caps
    • Reviewing properties, such as auto design depth, size etc
