StructurePoint spMats 10.00

spMats is a powerful software for designing and analyzing the foundation of residential and industrial buildings. Engineers use the capabilities of this program to improve the design of complex foundations, strengthen them and the interaction of soil and structure. In the past, this software was known as pcaMats and MATS, and in recent years it has changed to its new name, spMats. By using this product, it is possible to analyze and design all types of concrete foundations, composite or reinforced concrete slabs. Concrete slabs in this program are modeled using a combination of assembleable elements, which makes it easier to design this type of foundations.

Using spMats, it is also possible to design based on the limit method. This method is included in a number of European regulations and its purpose is to complete the final resistance of the structure against limit pressures. By using this software, different limit conditions can be predicted and the design can be done based on it. This program automatically and based on the building regulations ACI 318-14/11/08/05/02 and CSA A23.3-14/04/94, the amount and number of metal beams and columns required to strengthen the desired foundation calculates It is also possible to perform shear punch calculations around columns and piles. This program models the behavior of slabs and mats using the theory of shear deformation as well as the finite element method or FEM, and for this reason, it has high accuracy in modeling.
