Daystar FootingMaster for Punch! will find all of your foundation or retaining walls in your Punch! drawing, create wall sections and then analyze and design them. You can add your own wall sections and easily change the wall dimensions, physical properties and loads by selecting one or more of the wall sections and entering the new information.

Calculations include soil bearing values, overturning and sliding safety factors, shear stresses, moments, and required reinforcing for both wall and footing. All equations are shown in the report so a plan reviewer will know exactly what the program did. You can export the Plan view and wall section elevations as a DXF and the design report can be printed or copied to a word processor.

Program features include:

· Cantilevered or restrained walls.

· IBC 2006, IBC 2003, IBC 2000 and UBC 1997.

· Plan view, wall section elevations,

· English and Metric units.

· Unlimited wall sections.

· Automatic generation of load combinations.

· Surcharge loads.

· Vertical wall point loads with eccentricities.

· Stability check for sliding, overturning and soil bearing pressure.

· Footing check for flexure and shear.

· Wall check for axial loads, flexure and shear.

· Reinforcement calculations for axial, flexure and temperature and shrinkage.

· Graphical display of wall system.

· Graphical and text display of applied loads, internal forces and soil pressures.

· US and Metric rebar.

· DXF export of Plan and Section views for use in other CAD programs.

· Copy text and graphics to the clipboard.

· Easy to use input wizard.

· Full display of all calculations.
