Shallow foundation

For the calculation of the typical drained and undrained resistance mechanisms and deformation patterns of shallow foundations MOS Grondmechanica uses in-house developed calculation tools. Efficient design and optimisation are achieved by a well-organised load inventarisation with the principal and the structural engineer, followed by a clear presentation of the results.

Settlements and spring stiffnesses to be used in subsequent verifying structural design steps can be assessed by several tools and models depending on the structure and subsoil complexity.

Our experienced geotechnical engineers regularly visit project locations for an in situ quality check of the provided MOS execution guidelines as requested by the principal, thinking along in execution issues or second opinions.
