Course Overview:

This course on CSI SAFE is designed to equip engineers with the skills and knowledge needed to accurately design and analyse foundations and footings. Using CSI SAFE software, you will explore various structural design concepts with a focus on producing safe, economical, and structurally sound foundations. By integrating professional practices and standards such as ACI (American Concrete Institute) and ASCE (American Society of Civil Engineers), you will gain a comprehensive understanding of how to approach foundation design with an emphasis on both accuracy and cost-effectiveness. SAFE is a widely used structural engineering tool for designing concrete floor slabs, and foundation systems that transfer the gravity loads of a building to the earth. The course can impart you with a clear understanding of modelling, loading conditions, analysis, design of foundations of buildings, using SAFE,

Learning Outcome:
