Abstract
In one embodiment, a computer-aided foundation design technique employs variable soil parameters that are dynamically updated based on changes in footing shape, size, and/or embedment depth. The variable soil parameters may include a variable soil bearing capacity. The variable soil bearing capacity may be represented as a series of bearing capacity interaction curves that indicate an allowable bearing capacity for different footing dimensions and embedment depths. As part of the computer-aided foundation design technique, different combinations of footing dimensions and/or embedment depths may be iterated through, and for each iteration, base pressures may be tested against a soil bearing capacity that is specific to that combination of footing dimension and embedment depth.
