SVHEAVE™ has recently been added to our expanding line of world-class software products. SoilVision Systems Ltd. has collaborated on this joint development project with USA-based Engineering Analytics, Inc. to bring this tool to the marketplace.

SVHEAVE™ is a modeling tool that simplifies the calculation of soil heave for swelling clays. Free-field, slab and footing heave results are easily obtained with the input of soil data and footing design parameters. An easy-to-use graphical user interface allows geotechnical engineers to simulate a wide variety of situations common to industry practice.

SVHEAVE™ calculates heave based on oedometer-test-based methods. The user chooses the method of heave prediction from the following three methods:
Fredlund (1983) Method
Nelson and Chao (2014) Method
US Army Corps of Engineers (1983) Method
