Application of Visual Basic in Geotechnical Design (Shallow Foundation)

The research work represents how effectively programming language can be used in geotechnical design work. In this case the design of shallow foundation is done by Visual Basic programming. The low est and supporting layer of a structure.is called foundation. Soil is an unconsolidated material, composed of solid particles, produced by the disintegration of rocks is not same all the place. Its load bearing capacity varies w ith its nature. According to soil load bearieng capacity foundation is categorized as shallow foundation.In this researches the design of single column and combined footing is done. Construction of shallow foundation is mor e economical and easier. But manually it required more time. So, in this case the application of Visual Basic is done for the design. The entire design has been translated into simple functions.
