CSI SAFE v12 Download

We are in the era of advance structured buildings. Nowadays engineers are developing such unique & dynamic building that beyond of usual ideas. And for that they need to design these building are extremely different. Some of the significant element of a building is Foundation, Slab etc.

Foundation is the lower portion of a building that carrying loads from supports like column or wall and transmit it to the ground”

“Slab is the flat and lower surface in particular floor on which we staying and resting our goods”

So Foundation is the base of a Building. If somehow it undergoes down, the whole structure will be fail. And which could be reason of heavy loss. On other hand , if a slab got fail, it could be caused to loss life and capital of that particular floor or more. So these two has highly importance on designing. In some cases that design need to be performed by  method. This process is laborious & time consuming. But nowadays engineers design with softwares in computer. And by different opinion “SAFE” became the best analyzer for design Foundation and slab.


 SAFE is the Structural analysis tool by CSI [Computers and Structure Inc.]. SAFE is highly recommendable for designing Slab and Foundation. This application provides precise results from the operation. SAFE has the easiest drawing tool to make a model. Besides ETABS or CAD models could be imported. Even using data from Spreadsheet, Database program a model could be generated. This is really a useful feature.

Slab or Foundation can be of any shape. Slab could have any framing system such as One way, Two way, Flat plate,  Flat, Waffle, Ribbed beam etc with Columns, Brace, Walls or stair jointed upper or lower portion of that floor. Or a foundation can have any type like Mat, Combined etc.
 So SAFE is the really reliable tool for modeling, Analyzing, Reinforce detailing could be performed on this software.

Design of Concrete Structures 13th ed by Nilson.



The World became a jungle of concrete. Concrete structures are everywhere around us. There are lots of instance of Concrete Structures, like Buildings, Bridges, Dams, Retaining Walls etc. And most of them are Reinforced Concrete Structures. So learning Concrete is crucial for Engineers.


Designing Concrete Structures means to finding out the Size, Reinforcement of a structures. To Design an entire structures will come by design elementary structures.   Elementary concrete Structures are Beams, Slabs, Columns, Retaining walls, Shear wall etc. To learn those design a Book “Design of Concrete Structures” would be a useful reference book. 



Here I shared “Design of Concrete Structures” 13th  Edition. This Book is written according to ACI code 2002. I found this book as the best on Concrete structures.
