indian concrete code?

Dear friends,

i got the problem while using staad.pro V8i.while designing the concrete using indian code i got an error message "Copy protection device system does not support Indian(concrete)design code.The design will not be performed."Please someone help me to fix this problem.It is urgent for me.

Thanks in advance.

  • If you are using one of the recent versions of STAAD.Pro such as STAAD.Pro V8i or STAAD.Pro 2007, make sure that you switch on the box next to Indian codes on the opening screen of the program. Once you switch it on, there should be a green circle adjacent to that box. If you see a red circle instead, it means you either do not have a license, or it is checked out by somebody else in your company.

    thank u very much for ur attention.on thing i want to ask is it is ok if we design cantilever slab intergal with building?

  • Not sure if you are asking about analysis or design.

    By analysis, I mean the process which yields joint displacements, support reactions, plate element stresses, etc. Any FEA program like STAAD or RAM Elements will do that. Cantilever slabs should pose no problem since it is just a matter of meshing the slab properly and placing the supports or beams at the right places.

    By design, I am referring to what RAM Concept does, which is, find the reinforcement arrangement required to support the loads from the analysis. If you are referring to this, you have to ask the RAM Concept support group. I know it designs elevated floor slabs, but whether there is anything specific about cantilever slabs which makes it difficult to design, I am not sure.
