Bubble 3D is designed as a tool for assisting geotechnical engineers to exercise stress distributions specially when there are other surcharges / footings close to a footing. Bubble 3D does not utilize FEM or similar methods; instead, it follows a simple philosophy: It discretizes the model into many ‘soil elements’, and calculates the stress increase due to all surcharges at each soil element, and presents the results graphically. Bubble 3D is a powerful software for both academia and consulting engineers.
