Foundation Design using SAFE

1 )AIM:

Model the isolated base provided in Week 11 of the SAFE challenge. Analyze and design it to verify the size, depth and steel provided as per calculations.

INTRODUCTION:

SI SAFE (Finite Element Slab Analysis) is the best concrete slab and foundation design tool by Computer and Structures, Inc. detailing etc.

PROCEDURE:

1.first open SAFE
set new model set prefrance, cover etc.
use IS456:2000.us for reference
Now we need to define the material in it.
Define M25 and HYSD415

2.Now we need to provide a base of 600 mm.
click ok
Now go to define > load combinations.
After applying the load, click run analysis.

3.Now check the hole punch, it should be less than 1.
OK THEN.
Now go to design strips

2. A 600x600 column carrying an unfactored dead load (DL+LL) of 1175 kN is to be supported on a pile cap which ultimately transfers the load to the piles below. Piles with a length of 16 meters and a diameter of 500 mm are used. Each pile has a load capacity of 200 KN. Model, analyze and design a pile cover at SAFE to evaluate the following:

The pile cap group to use
pile cap depth
Longitudinal steel on top and bottom in both directions


AIM:- MODEL AND DESIGN A CLOSED INSERT USING THE GIVEN DATA.

PROCEDURE:
First, open the safe.

Use IS450:2000 to set up the project.

Define materials

Define the board.

Now define load and load combination same as que 1

Now we need to draw a reference point for the pile, pile ceiling, column

Now create a 600mm x 600mm column

Draw a column in the middle using a reference point.

After assigning all the load, run the structure.

Push-through shear values should be less than 1.

The structure is safe.

RESULT:-

The design of the pile using the vault is complete
