    How To Design Slab in SAFE

    Uploaded by

    Saad Ullah
    This document provides instructions for using SAFE software to design a slab using finite element analysis. It describes defining the slab geometry, properties, applying loads, performing analysis, and checking design requirements. Key steps include: 1. Defining the grid lines, slab and beam properties, and applying self-weight and live loads. 2. Assigning properties to the slab, beams, and columns. 3. Generating the finite element mesh and running the analysis to obtain deflections and forces. 4. Using the results to design the slab and check reinforcement and punching shear requirements.

    24 18 6 INCH 3000 psi

    fc (28 DAYS COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH) =

    fy (YIELD STRENTH OF STEEL )

    60,000 psi

    STEP 01

    Grid Definition

    Units = Kip-ft
    File New Grid Definition .
    No of Grid Lines (x-direction) = 3 No of Grid Lines (y-direction) = 4 Grid Spacing (x-direction) =24 Grid Spacing (y-direction) =18

    For editing in Grid Spacing, use command Edit Edit Grid .

    STEP 02

    PROPERTIES DEFINITION

    For defining the properties of different elements, use following Command, Define Slab Properties Add new property Set property name as Slab1 In type click Slab, thickness = 0.5 , give cover = 0.08 ( 1 inch), Give fc and fy and Modulus of elasticity accordingly. After this use following command & procedure Define Beam Properties Add Rectangular Beam-Set Beam property name as Beam1. Give depth = 2 & width = 1 , give cover = 0.16 ( 2 inch), Give fc and fy and Modulus of elasticity accordingly.

    STEP 02

    PROPERTIES DEFINITION

    Then use following command to define column properties

    Define Column Supports Add New Property-Set property name as Col1. Give column dimensions = 1 (X-dimension) , 1 (Y-dimension) Column Height = 10, Give fc and fy and Modulus of elasticity accordingly.
    To draw beams in model use Draw Line Objects. To draw slab in model use Draw Draw area objects. To draw column in model use Draw Draw point objects

    STEP 03

    ASSIGNING PROPERTIES

    After defining all properties, these are assigned to relative elements slab, Beam & column as shown in next slides.

    To assign slab properties in model use Assign Slab properties. To assign beams in model use Assign Beam properties.

    Assigning Slab.

    Assigning Beams.

    Step 04 Load Application


    Load cases are defined using following command Define Static Load Cases Load 1 DL Load 2 LL Selfwt multiplier =1 & Long term deflection factor =3 Selfwt multiplier =0 & Long term deflection factor =1

    After selecting the slab, load is applied using following command Select slab Assign Surface loads DL Load per area = 0.05 (ksf) Select slab Assign Surface loads LL Load per area = 0.06 (ksf)

    13

    Assigning Load

    14

    Step 05 Defining Load Combination.

    Load combinations are defined using command Define Load Combinations Comb 1 - 1.2 DL + 1.6 LL

    To view the properties of element ,rendered view, or mesh of slab use following command
    View Set object options Area object properties or show mesh.

    To display the applied load Display Show Loads.

    16

    Auto Mesh of Slab.

    Step 06 Analysis of Model.

    Analysis can be performed using command Analyze Run Analysis.

    Step 07 Analysis Results .


    Deformed shape can checked using command
    Display Show Deformed Shape. Max Deflections must be with in permissible limits .Max Deflection due to loads for this case is 0.23 inches.

    Slab forces can be obtained using command


    Display Show Slab Forces.

    18

    Step 07 Analysis Results .


    To obtain the results of beams Display Show Beam Forces. To obtain the results of slab strips Display Show Strip Forces.( Moments & Shears) To obtain the results in tabulated form Display Show output tables.
