Here are a number of questions that I need answered. Help would be appreciated. Q1. In ETABS, what if the beam combined fail in Shear and Torsion? Need Solution Q2. In ETABS, Obtained moments on both ends on simple supported beams. What to do? Q3. Discuss dependance of foundation on bearing capacity of soil in SAFE model? What options do you have if the Bearing Capacity is very low? How would you check and find one way and two way shear in SAFE model? Q4. Why mass and weight are considered separate in ETABS? Q5. Differentiate b/w P-Delta analysis vs Dynamic Analysis? Q6. Material properties and strength of Concrete depend on what parameters? Q7. What limit "1" in punching shows in SAFE? Even if you know just one answer, please reply. It would be very helpful. Thank you and Regards.

Plz explore these questions. Q1:How to define bearing capacity of soil in SAFE? Q2:what is mean by the different terms used in SAFE Detailing drawing like TC,BF,BE,BC etc i think T for top and B for Bottom but the others? Q3:In SAFE as shown in figure what does the negative shows,if it shows direction then why it is given Max name to minimum value and Min name to maximum value for deflection as (Max=-0.068269in and Min=-0.118905in)? Q4:What is mean by Subgrade Modulus in SAFE and how we will calculate its value? Q5:For Five storey building my mat foundation possesess Punching shear values as shown so,what to do with sides although the thickness of mat is 48"? Q6:I need mat foundation reinforcement drawing please.

i have an issue to discuss, regarding my etab and safe model... My etab model is good upto my knwledge AS I HAVE CHECK LOAD COMBINATIONS AND OTHER RESPECTIVE THINGS NEEDED TO BE CHECK, when i come to safe , due to few load combos having earthquake factor i got lot of moments specially in areas having shear walls so kindly tell me when we design foundation, do we have to consider all these load combos and how to avoid large reinforcement which is coming in areas of shear wall bcoz i thnk so practically so much reinforcement is not possible...\ I HAVE MODELED MY SHEAR WALLS AS PIN BUT NOT YET SATISFIED WITH MY RESULTS... building sizie is 90x180 so almost double in other direction and total no of storeys is 15...i used col size 15x36 , so need ur suggestions?????????? try 3.zip

CSI (ETABS, SAFE, SAP) SOFTWARES ANALYSIS FILES EXTENSIONS CSI (ETABS, SAFE, SAP) SOFTWARES ANALYSIS FILES EXTENSIONS After running the structural models they create numerous analysis files with very strange file extensions. Here I am talking about CSI softwares; ETABS, SAFE and SAP. These analysis files contain information about matrices and analysis results. More information about the file extensions can be found on CSI official webpage: https://wiki.csiberk...analysis models or https://wiki.csiberk... settings files When sending the model files to someone you dont need all those temporary analysis files rather just 2 files; one model file and another its text file. Why we need to delete the files? Well, one thing is there are lot of files which we dont recognize, and the major issue is they take too much of space. A single model may be upto 10MB or less or more, but after analysis, the folder size reaches sometimes upto 1GB, using hard disk resources. So its not wise to just leave them as is because once you have model file you can get the results on any machine after running it. For example for a simple model! An increase of about 62 times!Deleting the Files 1) From program To delete the analysis files of the model, there are many ways and techniques:- Open the model, goto File>Delete analysis files> There are 2 options; one for deleting analysis files of that model only and another to delete files of all the models in that specific directory. Here it can't delete the files of models in sub directories. Just imagine if you have a large project containing many buildings having at least 2 models, all in separate directories, so would have to open all of them one by one and delete files this way. 2) Manually Deleting the Files Another method is to search and delete the files yourself. Unfortunately, I could not find on internet a complete list of all the extensions of analysis files. So I just created sample files for each of the program and then converted by some means those extensions into a text file. I will for your convenience put all those extensions here. So just goto windows search explorer and just copy paste the extensions text string the file name box of search window and delete all the files in one go. If I have missed some extensions of mixed it with other programs, please correct me. 3) The best method While writing this article, I came across a very interesting method to do all that crap. There is file called Eat.bat in ETABS and SAP program files. When I opened these files in MS DOS, I found out that this DOS files deletes all the analysis files in that directory and you can get the list of all the extensions of the files if you try to edit it. Well that would be the official extension list of analysis files from CSI. The extensions I published below were extracted by me so they miss some extensions. I will later update those. This Eat.bat is found in ETABS and SAP folders but not in SAFE. I dont know why CSI people havent included this in SAFE. So I came up with an idea to modify the program so that it can do following:- 1) Delete all the analysis files, not just in that specific directory rather in all sub directories too and for all programs like ETABS, SAFE and SAP. I will just add all the extensions and a switch for deleting files inside other directories:- ERASE /S /Q * This program can be downloaded from here. Soon it will also be available in standard EXE format.
