Salient Features

 Most cost-effective design of RCC pedestal to Limit State method of IS456 code. It can also be applied for design using any other code that follows similar design principles to IS456.

 Handles up to 10 support joints and 500 load combinations (LCs) in a single run.

 All governing LCs selected automatically by software.

 Automatically determines effective length factors for both bending axes, taking into account the user-selected end restraints.

 Recognizes tie-beams by considering the translational restraints chosen by the user for pedestal top, and omits reactions directly transferred to tie-beams during pedestal design.

 Provides the choice to enlarge the pedestal size either in an ‘economical’ or ‘uniform’ manner.

 Design checks include those for ‘compression + bending’, ‘tension + bending’, interaction (for bi-axial bending) and shear.

 Detailed design report with step-by-step calculations, dynamic formulae, and code references.

 Retrieve design report for ‘any’ user-specified size selected from successful pedestals listed in the last output sheet.

 Provides BOQ and cost estimates for rebar, concrete & formwork, presented in both absolute values and percentages. Quantities are specified for both individual pedestal and all pedestals collectively.

 Provides output sketch with GA & rebar details in structure global axes.

 Complies with Oil & Gas industry principles, PIPs & DEPs.

 Scores of design options to cover a wide range of structures & industries.
