"... I am very satisfied with the SLABS software and also I would like you to know that we have achieved better results than expected.  This is due mainly because with the SLABS software we were able to locate the critical points of settlement.  The structure is a post tensioned wall with sliding base.  The base slab is also post tensioned being a large diameter over sand foundation differential settlement is a real worry."

 

 

"For information we have, water tested the structure and everything passed
with practically +/- 3 mm deflection which is well within the limit..."
