How to ensure model beam loads in Staad pro are correctly imported into RCDC for design

Josh Orah — Fri, 19 Apr 2019 10:10:42 GMT

After successful modelling in Staad pro I switched to RCDC for beam design. Upon checking the member forces I noticed that the listed loads are way too low compared to model beam loads. How to ensure Staad pro model loads are correctly imported into RCDC for design? Any ideas please? Any tricks from experience?

USER DEFINED STOREY LEVEL NAMES IN STAAD PRO

Josh Orah — Tue, 22 Jan 2019 09:53:25 GMT

On importing my staad pro model into RCDC for design, the level of the model for which design is desired is defined by the y-cordinate. How may I re-designate this level id to say grd level, 1st floor level, roof level which would then appear in the design report?

RCDC does not recognise cantilever slab modelled in Staad pro

My project involves cantilever slabs without peripheral beams, modelled and analysed in Staad pro. The challege is that the cantilever slabs seem not recognized by RCDC for design and detailing. Any way to get around this please?

Steel roof truss on concrete beams and columns

Josh Orah — Thu, 27 Dec 2018 13:12:06 GMT

Dear all,

I am relatively new to STAAD Pro. I have been able to model my building frame in reinforced concrete as well as some roof trusses in steel sections including Zed purlins. I have 3 issues:

1) how to model roof loading to transfer roof loads from purlins to truss members at the nodal points.

2) how to connect the steel roof structure to the underlying concrete roof beam/column support so that truss reactions are picked up by the roof beam/column support as point loads.

3) any need for extra bracing to roof structure beyond the Zed purlins provided?

Thanks.

Josh
