SAFE Joint Reactions for Pile Supports
This tool is very helpful for the people working with SAFE. Foundations supported on Piles are modelled as spring supports in SAFE with appropriate translational stiffnesses. However the Force developed in these sporings should be limited to the capacities suggested by geotechnical consultants. A pile has a specified Tension , Compression and Lateral capacity. These capacities changes with the Pile Diameter or Length. This tool helps you easily filter the Joint Reactions developed in SAFE so you can look up for the piles exceeding the capacity. Lateral Pile capacity should be compared with the Resultant of Fx and Fy reactions. You can do this easily in this tool. You can connect to an Open SAFE model and get the Joint reactions for multiple Load combinations.Once you input your filter criteria , you can filter the Joints and even select them in SAFE. This will help you save a lot of time an efforts. Watch this tool to know more about this tool. Click Here to Download
