The Complete Course of CSI SAFE: From zero to hero!

Learn to use the CSI Safe modeling tools to set up grids, define concrete materials, and draw beams, columns, and slabs, including group-based editing and material properties.

Master modeling tools in CSI SAFE by learning how to replicate, merge, divide areas, and edit slabs and beams, then define load cases and combinations for seismic design.

Define material and section properties for slabs, beams, columns, and footings in a CSI safe project; model, analyze, and design slabs with code-based loads and deflection checks.

Learn to model and analyze a slab in SAFE, apply gravity and live loads, design reinforcement, and import from ETABS to SAFE for a seamless design workflow.

Model a flat slab with drop panels and flag slab details in CSI Safe, define grid and column layouts, assign loads, and set design combinations per American standards.

Learn to analyze flat slab behavior in CSI SAFE, check deflection and punching shear, and optimize slab and column properties for economical reinforcement through design iterations.

Explore isolated footing design in CSI Safe: import from Etabs, model foundations, export floor loads, and define materials and sections to verify punching shear and bearing capacity using American standards.

Explore design and optimization of isolated footing reinforcement in CSI SAFE, fixing foundation sizes, performing finite element based design, and optimizing for deflection, side pressure, and cost efficiency.

Learn how to model a combined footing in CSI SAFE, define geometry and materials, apply loads and restraints, and analyze and design for optimization.

Explore the modeling, design, and checks of footings and slabs in CSI SAFE, validating deflection, reaction forces, and reinforcement detailing through an integrated optimization workflow.

Learn to model and design strap footings in CSI Safe, handle property-line constraints, specify materials and loads, and perform shear/deflection checks for safe footing solutions.

Design strap footing and checks through sizing, deformed shape analysis, reinforcement decisions, and centroid alignment with eccentricity considerations.

Learn mat modelling and design for footings, choosing between isolated and mat footings, and transfer loads from sap to safe. Analyze deflection, uplift, and reinforcement to optimize slab footing design.

Model a raft and slab in the CSI SAFE aid framework, export loads, adjust raft and slab properties, and perform checks on deflection, punching, and soil pressure.

Model eccentric footings in Safe, set up trapezoidal footing geometry, apply loads and soil properties, and verify deflection and punching through design checks.

Explore the design and modeling of pile foundations and pile caps, including determining pile diameter, spacing, number of piles, and load capacity using geotechnical data and Excel-based calculations.

Learn how to model a 2.5 by 2.5 pile cap in CSI SAFE, size the cap, place reinforcement, and perform design checks for capacity, deflection, and safety.
