SkyCiv Foundation Design Software
Design concrete foundations and piles with ease in minutes. Integrated with Structural 3D, import forces directly from your 3D model's analysis. Customize soil layers, column locations, foundation types and reinforcement to obtain the most efficient design. Communicate design results through detailed hand calculations with code references, all exportable as a PDF, perfect for use as project deliverables or for further investigation.
Features
Easy to use, powerful and 100% online
Powerful Soil Analysis
-
In both our Isolated and Pile foundations, users can add multiple layers of soil
- Analysis of soil layers and loads, with analytical diagrams
- Isolated/Pad footings calculate effective soil capacity ratios as per ACI and AS design code requirements
- Full soil pressure calculations in reporting
Full Calculation Reports
Structural engineers should have access to all the information of their foundation designs. This includes the design results and step by step calculations made by the software. SkyCiv Concrete Design reports show the full step-by-step calculations, structural engineers can review:
- References to relevant chapters, checks and assumptions for all calculations for ACI 318 and AS 3600
- Custom Company logo and model setup information
- Detailed calculations of soil analysis
- Relevant assumptions and failure criteria
- Clear pass/fail summary results

Case Studies
Tried and Tested by Real Engineers around the World
“The ease of use and the presentation of the results are both awesome. I have had ongoing interaction with the support team and everyone is excellent!”
It is used for various civil and mechanical engineering courses and the students love it. We are happy with the continuous updates to SkyCiv as well, highly recommended.
“It was easily the most intuitive package available to learn; it is particularly easy to build the 3D model and define nodes, members, supports, materials, sections, then apply loads & combinations.”
