1. A computer-implemented method for constructing the foundation of a building, comprising:
receiving nodal data associated with the structure design;
propagate, by one or more processors, member data of the structural frame;
analyzing, by one or more processors, the member data of the structural frame and the nodal data;
applying, by one or more processors, a series of loads to the structural frame;
generating, by one or more processors, a deflection model of the structural frame;
determining, by one of more processors, if any of the members failed;
generating, by one or more processors, a warning related to the failed members, identifying the failed members within a model of the building, and identifying a condition of the failed members; and
providing, by one or more processors, a strengthening requirements for the failed members.
