Pile Cap Design in SAFE v20.2 | Pile Cap with Five Piles

[@alishapradhan9602]

1:27 could you please clarify the load data to be assigned ? Is the axial load you entered the total axial load of the structure from etabs result? Also, is that the result of DL+LL combination?

[@telestruct]

13:15 please clarify why piles modeled as Mat ? thanks

[@nikkorianto2700]

What is the stiffness modifier for pilecap?

[@SourenModak]

How calculate the spring value for shore pile analysis using etabs software?

[@fazalarju]

Sir. Should we define point spring as SBC/Settlement or EA/L. Both of them gives quite different result

[@ALEXLIM-xf7hr]

Yes, Sir...could you help to clarify on this, I have the same question here. Thanks.

[@dilipngangom4198]

We will be very benefitted if you upload a Raft on pile foundation design in SAFE.

[@Decodebd]

Already there is a course on Raft/Mat on Pile Foundation design

[@nidal60able]

In order to benefit from the video explanation, the safe file must be downloaded to benefit more

[@ALEXLIM-xf7hr]

Hi Sir, when should we use k=EA/L or k=F/settlement respectively (says if to relate with this tutorial), are they giving the same value for the point spring constant? Then, if L is unknown, do you recommend us to refer to SI and/or basing on own professional-assumption, else can we just adopt the approach of using k= (pile ultimate load capacity) / (pile allowable settlement at ultimate load capacity) ? Thanks Sir JL

I have same question.

Assalamualaikum Dear. While checking punching shear at pile showing N/C. Why is it happen?

[@fillbertnjoko7875]

Sir, how to input the size of load for punching shear (see 17:58) when assigning joint load? In my case, I import the forces from ETABS, so SAFE directly gives the loads for each pile caps, and I don't know how to assign the size for punching shear.

[@Decodebd]

You can model column as stiff on that point to provide load size for punching check.

[@fillbertnjoko7875]

@@Decodebd thank you for the insight sir!

[@fillbertnjoko7875]

Sir, Can you explain how SAFE calculates the punching shear on each pile? As we know, we need the size of piles to calculate the punching shear. Is SAFE automatically identifying from force on point spring to size of piles for calculating the punching shear? For example (as long as I know), in MIDAS, we need to distribute the point spring's force to the diameter of the pile with a link.

[@Decodebd]

SAFE automatically considers pile area. For being more specific, model pile with it’s diameter on that point.

[@LWMiraz]

Sir, please make a tutorial for shear wall pile cap foundation....

[@pwddoc4996]

Sir, From where i Should get the 1st Excell sheet used for pile Analysis , if possible may i ask for the file?

[@imprincx]

Pile caps are disontinuity regions. Strut and tie method is necessary. Simple calculations like these are not enough and probably not safe.

[@subhajitmukhopadhyay4780]

Should not we consider Px & Py?

[@hariasssss]

Great video. Do more. Which software is best for steel structure for design and detailing. Kindly advice

[@Decodebd]

Noted dear. There are several great software for steel design & detailing. This depends on available code & regionwise practice. If your country code is available in Prota Structure the it can be highly useful. Otherwise Etabs or SAP2000 or Staad Pro also great.

[@hariasssss]

@@Decodebd I am looking for one software which have do both design and detailing.otherwise recommend me best one for design and detailing and connection design separately

[@engribrahimriyad]

great

[@Decodebd]

Thanks

[@dilipngangom4198]

Sir, How can we export the detailing drawing of this SAFE V20 to autocad.?

[@Decodebd]

Didn’t find any way to export detailing from SAFE v20 to Autocad. May be licensed version has that option.

[@aliimran767]

For that we can import this result to CSi Detailing software. From there, dxf export can be done and detailing too can be done.

[@abdallahibrahim9057]

Dear , could you attach the excel sheet
