ADAPT Reinforced Concrete Mat Foundation Design 2

[waytsh]

Our company is looking to purchase some software for desiging large reinforced mat foundations. It looks like we might be going with ADAPT for this service. Any of you guys familiar with the program or ADAPT in general. Does anyone have any other program recommendations for mat design. Any input is welcome. Thanks in advance.

STAAD Pro has an excellent foundation module as well. Did you consider it?

About RC Raft i suggest:

1- CSI-SAFE is very common it's easy and powerful .

Thank you both for the input. I was planning to investigate STAAD Pro. I have downloaded the demo and am about to begin testing. AhmedR, I am going to check your two suggestions. Hopefully they have demo versions as well and the price is comparable to ADAPT.

Thanks again,
