Overview

Component-Oriented Geotechnical analysis. Design safe foundations and groundwork...

FRILO Geotechnics provides targeted tools for the analysis and design of foundations, retaining structures, excavations, slopes, and soil behavior. Geotechnical engineers and structural designers use these modules to verify ground stability, earth pressure, settlements, and foundation capacities in line with recognized standards.

Capabilities

Compare Key Capabilities

End-to-end foundation and groundworks design
FRILO Geotechnics covers shallow and deep foundations (footings, mast foundations, raft foundations, piles, combined pile-raft solutions) as well as integrated foundation statics in 2D and 3D. This lets engineers design the entire foundation system in one environment, balancing safety and economy while keeping the ground-structure interface consistent across projects.
Excavation pits and retaining structures with optimization tools
Dedicated modules for construction pit walls, diaphragm walls, cantilevered and gravity retaining walls, reinforced soil, gabions, and soil nailing support design, reinforcement, and stability checks, including wall thickness and anchor-force optimization. These capabilities help engineers create safe, buildable excavation and retaining solutions that remain economical and defensible in approvals.
Advanced soil mechanics and settlement behavior
Display of borehole profiles, dynamic penetration tests, and geological cross-sections, combined with lab and field test evaluation (shear, triaxial, plate load, Proctor, probing), give engineers a robust understanding of ground behavior. This reduces uncertainty in foundation and retaining design and supports better decisions on ground improvement or alternative solutions.
Groundwater, infiltration, and environmental modules
Groundwater lowering, infiltration installations, rainwater treatment, and related hydraulic calculations allow geotechnical engineers to account for water-related effects on soil and structures. These capabilities support safer designs for pits, foundations, and surface installations, especially in projects where groundwater and infiltration are critical approval topics.
Standard-compliant geotechnical reporting
FRILO Geotechnics provides standard-compliant output forms and integrated reporting across its modules, so assumptions, test results, calculations, and safety factors are documented in a way that authorities and structural partners can follow. This improves transparency, speeds up approvals, and makes it easier to reuse calculation evidence across similar projects.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Who should use FRILO Geotechnics?
FRILO Geotechnics is intended for geotechnical engineers and structural designers who need reliable tools to analyze foundations, retaining structures, excavations, slopes, and soil behavior.
How do the Geotechnics editions differ?
Concept covers standard foundations and groundworks. Professional Pit and Retaining editions focus on excavation pits and retaining structures. Soil Mechanics adds advanced soil behavior analyses, while Ultimate combines all modules for full-spectrum geotechnical design.
Can FRILO Geotechnics be combined with structural FRILO editions?
Yes. Many offices use FRILO for both structural and geotechnical tasks, pairing FRILO Editions for building components with FRILO Geotechnics for foundations and groundworks to cover the entire load path.
What standards does FRILO Geotechnics support?
FRILO Geotechnics uses recognized geotechnical design approaches and verifications consistent with relevant European standards, supporting safe and transparent design decisions.
How does FRILO Geotechnics help with approvals?
The software produces clear, structured calculation documents that make it easy to show methods, assumptions, and results to reviewers and authorities during permitting and approval processes.
