    This document provides steps for designing a foundation in SAFE software. It begins with an example of designing an 18x18 inch column under a 100 kip load. It calculates the modulus of subgrade reaction and selects a footing size. The document then outlines the design steps in SAFE, which include creating a new model, defining soil properties and load, placing the column, assigning loads and properties, running analysis and design, and displaying design results. Notes provide guidance on selecting rebar spacing and checking punching shear.

    Foundation Design in SAFE

    Example:

    Consider a column of 18” x 18”, under a load of 100 kips.

    Let B.C = 1.0 ton/ft2

    As; K = 36 × B.C ------------------ (1)

    Where; K = Modulus of sub grade reaction

    Since; 1 Ton = 2204 lbs or 2.204 kips

    So, K = 36 × 2.204 = 80

    Let the depth of footing below the G.L is 4 ft and thickness (assumed) of footing is 1 ft

    Thus; qu = 2.204 – 4(0.120) – 1(0.150) = 1.57 kips/ft2

    A = P/qu =100/1.57 = 63.6 ft2

    So proposed footing is 8’ × 8’

    NOTES:

    • Long term deflection multiplier will be taken as 3


    • How to select bar spacing after the design of area of steel?

    Let the area comes 8.04 in2

    ଼.଴ସ
    = 1.07 where ‘8’ in denominator is the dimension of footing
    ଼

    Since # 6 bar = 0.44 in2

    ଵ.଴଻
    = 2.29
    ଴.ସସ

    ଵଶ
    = 5.2’’ c/c
    ଶ.ଶଽ

    • In SAFE if punching shear is < 1.0 then the thickness of footing is considered to be OK

    Design Steps:

    1. File > New model from Temp. > Single footing

    Type X and Y.

    Concept of X & Y, if you have total dimension is 8’ then from center line, 4’ is from left edge side
    and 4’ from right edge side.

    So in this case (in inches)

    X = 48

    Y = 48

    2. Define > Slab Properties > Load > Modify > type thickness > OK

    3. Define > Soil Support > Select soil > Modify > Type ‘K’
    > OK > OK

    K = 36 × B.C

    4. Delete the existing column


    5. Placing of new column > pick the tool ‘Draw rectangular slab/area’ from left vertical tool bar >
    now click the point where you want to place the column

    OR

    Draw column using ‘draw column’ tool

    6. Define > Static load cases & Combo


    7. Select slab > assign > Soil support > Soil > OK
    8. Assign > Point load
    9. Type load in Z Load (downward possitive)

    Size of load (in size of load you have to type the dimensions of column)

    Let X direction = 18”

    Y direction = 18”

    10. Run Analysis & Design


    11. Design > display design info.
