The easiest way I have found to check if Concrete shearwalls fail (rather than right-clicking on each one individually) is to do to File>Print Tables. Print the output summary of the shearwall design table, and it will tell if each pier fails in shear or flexure. For concrete beams and columns...

We use ETABS primarily for concrete shearwall design. It gives the boundary zone lengths in the output.

I am new to using SAFE, and I was wondering, how would you typically model a strip footing or grade beam in SAFE? The strip footing runs underneath concrete shearwalls. Would you model it as a footing slab with the dimensions of a beam and with soil supports underneath? Or would you model it as...

I am using ETABS v9.1.7 to design concrete columns. The column design produces expected results for all but one column. The design summary says that the axial force exceeds Euler's force for this column although the loading in this column is similar to or less than nearby columns. This column...
