Initial release for SAFE v12.1.0. Example 15 and Example 16
were added.

Revised to reflect results obtained from Version 12.2.0. All
examples, including 1 through 16 and all code-specific examples
(ACI 318-00, AS 3600-01, BS 8110-97, CSA A23.3-04, Eurocode
2-04, Hong Kong CoP-04, IS 456-00, NZS 3101, and Singapore
CP 65-99 – PS-SL, RC-BM, RC-PN, RC-SL)

Minor changes have been made to the Examples supplied with the
software: (1) The documented results for Analysis Examples 1, 4,
5, 7, and 8 have been updated to correct for truncation error in the
reported values. The values actually calculated by the software
have not changed for these examples. (2) The input data file for
Example 16 has been updated to correct the creep and shrinkage
parameters used so that they match those of the benchmark
example, and the documented results updated accordingly. The
behavior of the software has not changed for this example. (3) All
Slab Design examples have been updated to report the slab design
forces rather than the strip forces. The design forces account for
twisting moment in slab, so their values are more meaningful for
design. The behavior of the software has not changed for these
examples.

Minor changes have been made to the Examples supplied with the
software: (1) The documented results for Analysis Examples 1 to
7 have been updated to include the results from thin-plate and
thick-plate formulation. (2) The input data files for Australian AS
3600-2009 have been added. (3) The Eurocode 2-2004 design
verification examples now include the verification for all available
National Annexes.

Turkish TS 500-2000 (Incident 63082).
Documentation for the punching-shear design examples of the
following codes have been corrected for an error in the
documented calculation of the punching perimeter: CSA A23.3-
04, IS 456-00, and NZS 3101-06. No calculated results have
changed. (Incident 46359)
Documentation for the beam and slab design examples of the AS
3600-09 code have been updated to account for a change made to
the software under Incident 35218 for version 12.3.2 that updated
Equation 8.1.3(2). No calculated results have changed. (Incident
46359)
Results for the area of reinforcing steel have changed for
Eurocode P/T slab example “Eurocode 2-04 PT-SL-001”.
(Incident 62486)
Documentation for analysis Example 17 has been corrected for an
error in the documented cracked width computed by SAFE. No
calculated results have changed. (Incident 63153)

June 2015
Initial release for SAFE 2014 v14.1.0.
New design examples have been added for the following codes:
ACI 318-14 (Incident 79838), and CSA A23.3-14 (Incident
71674).

For Example 5, stiffening elements were updated in the model.
Results have changed slightly.
For Examples 8-14, stiffening elements were updated in the
column areas, and all beam cross-section properties were updated
to reflect values calculated from the actual geometry.
For Examples 10-14, the models were changed to reflect the fact
that the slab should extend to the outside faces of the columns.

The slight increase in slab area has changed reported results.
For design examples ACI 318-08 RC-PN-001, ACI 318-11 RC-
PN-001 and ACI 318-14 RC-PN-001, incorrectly sized and
redundant stiff areas were removed from the models. Reported
results have changed slightly.
For design examples CSA A23.3-04 RC-SL-001 and CSA A23.3-
14 RC-SL-001, mesh size has been changed to 0.25m to be the
same as in the rest of the international code examples. Results
have changed slightly.
For all changed models, reported results that have changed have
been updated in the corresponding documentation.
Documentation for Example 5 has been updated for incorrect
modeling information regarding the column stiff area dimensions.
Documentation for Example 14 has been updated for incomplete
modeling information in the images.
Documentation for Eurocode 2-04 RC-PN-001was updated to
reflect changes in how the program is determining K2*Med2 and
K3*Med3, which has changed the results.
Documentation for all design examples of type RC-SL has had
wording updated to reflect the current state of the models.

Minor typo error for units for modulus of elasticity of concrete
(Ec) and modulus of elasticity of steel (Es) and poison ratio value
have been updated.
