Core features

SAFI™ Slab Calculator

Supported design codes

American Standard:
• ACI 318
Canadian Standard:
• CSA A23.3
Additional standard:
• Eurocode 2

Design Capabilities

The Slab Calculator enables the design and verification of all key aspects of reinforced concrete slabs, including:
• Bending
• Shear
• Deflection
• Punching

Customizable Design Parameters

Design strips are fully customizable, with advanced configuration options such as:
• Independent top and bottom reinforcement and cover settings
• A design fringe feature to optimize reinforcement distribution
• Adjustable minimum reinforcement parameters
• Selection of the main reinforcement direction for realistic layout representation

The calculator supports both suspended slabs and slab-on-grade, providing flexibility across a wide range of projects.
Soil stiffness can also be defined for accurate modeling.

Load Combinations and Deflection

• Automatic generation of load combinations in accordance with NBCC, ASCE 7, and other standards
• Ability to define custom load combinations
• Multiple parameters available for long-term cracked deflection calculations
• Slabs can be analyzed under various loading conditions, including uniform, variable, and point loads.

Reinforcement Editing and Visualization

• Edit and visualize reinforcement directly in the 3D slab model
• Use the editing table for easy customization of reinforcement details

Analysis Results

• 3D visualization of bending moments, shear forces, deflections, and support reactions
• Comprehensive results table for detailed analysis data
• Ultimate limit states displayed directly on the model for bending, shear, deflection, and punching

Reporting

• Generate both summary and detailed reports for slab model results with ease.
