SAFE
Integrated Design of Slabs, Mats, and Footings.
Overview
SAFE is a software package for the analysis and design of elevated floor and foundation systems. SAFE integrates every aspect of the engineering design process – from layout to detail drawing production – in one easy and intuitive environment. The system can model slabs or foundations of any shape, with complex features like openings, drop panels, and beams. It supports a wide range of design codes for reinforced and post-tensioned concrete.
✨ Key Features
- Finite Element based design
- Slab, Raft, and Mat Foundation Design
- Post-Tensioning (P-T) design
- Beam and Shear Wall Design
- Punching Shear Checks
- Detailed reinforcement drawings
🎯 Key Differentiators
- Seamless, two-way integration with ETABS
- Powerful and comprehensive features for both reinforced concrete and post-tensioning
- Based on the trusted CSI analysis engine
Unique Value: Provides a comprehensive and integrated solution for the detailed analysis and design of any type of concrete slab or foundation system.
🎯 Use Cases (4)
✅ Best For
- Importing geometry and loads from ETABS to design a complex concrete floor system.
- Designing a post-tensioned slab and generating tendon layout drawings.
- Analyzing soil pressures and designing a mat foundation for a high-rise building.
