WHAT IS SAFE:
SAFE is the ultimate tool for designing concrete floor and foundation systems. From framing layout all the way through to detail drawing production, SAFE integrates every aspect of the engineering design process in one easy and intuitive environment.
The Need for SAFE:
Laying out models is quick and efficient with the sophisticated drawing tools, or use one of the import options to bring in data from CAD, spreadsheet, or database programmes. Slabs or foundations can be of any shape, and can include edges shaped with circular and spline curves. Post-tensioning may be included in both slabs and beams to balance a percentage of the self-weight. Suspended slabs can include flat, two-way, waffle, and ribbed framing systems. Models can have columns, braces, walls, and ramps connected from the floors above and below. Walls can be modelled as either straight or curved. Mats and foundations can include nonlinear uplift from the soil springs, and a nonlinear cracked analysis is available for slabs. Generating pattern surface loads is easily done by SAFE with an automated option. Design strips can be generated by SAFE or drawn in a completely arbitrary manner by the user, with complete control provided for locating and sizing the calculated reinforcement. Finite element design without strips is also available and useful for slabs with complex geometries.
SAFE 2016 :
CSI SAFE is a software product designed to automate the calculation and detailing of reinforced concrete slabs and foundations from simple to complex. The programme calculates and details plates and plates on the soil of arbitrary shape, of various thickness, with capitals, apertures, beams along the perimeter. The foundation can be modeled from a plate, tape and stand alone. The calculation is performed by the FEM. The foundations are calculated as a thick plate on an elastic base. The programme carries out the reinforcement scheme taking into account the calculation for pushing the plate from the column. It is also possible to perform a check on the second group of limiting states.
2 Days Workshop & Hands On Training OnAnalysis of Foundation using SAFE software:
The 2 days SAFE workshop & hands on training was conducted on 05/03/20 & 06/03/20 for Under Graduate Civil Engineering students and the session was handled by the trainer of Skyfi Labs
ABOUT SKYFI LAB
Skyfi Labs is an education company founded by IIT Kanpur alumni – Pavan Ponnaganti and Aditya Chundi. After graduation they spent some time in industry and they realized the challenges students in core engineering are facing and started Skyfi Labs to develop products that will help these students. Due to their innovative methodology and great quality, they won several awards for their work and have partnered with prestigious organizations like Boeing, Altair, Mauritius Research Council and IIT Delhi. Their founder has also been a part of AICTE team which drafted a concept paper on UG curriculum. The Notable Institutes as Lead Instructor:
