RE: floor load Vs plate load
Sye
Floor Diaphragm is actually a more sophisticated and automated solution compared to master slave and offers additional advantages like accounting for torsion in the rigid diaphragm. Section 5.28.2 of the Technical Reference Manual has more details on…

RE: floor load Vs plate load
Sye
You can definitely model the floor with plates and then also use floor loads to apply the loading. Modeling the floor with plates accounts for the stiffness due to the diaphragm. On the other hand floor load takes care of the distribution of the loading…

Re: floor load Vs plate load
Sye
Hi Govinda, Floor load is typically used to account for the loading on the floor and to distribute it to the supporting beams even when the floor is not modeled as part of the structure using plates. In other words if the intent is to consider the load…

RE: Pushover Analisys

I think the input is ok. The SGR and the TORSION parameter does not really help in the Deflection check - and so it was not necessary to be specified. The torsional deformations are not be included in the deflection check. TRACK 4 is very important -…

Master Mac, You wrote : You said that for STAAD to analyze a tapered section, we need to split the members into several parts with uniform cross section using the average properties. Our response: No, not always. There are certain types of tapered…

RE: Modelling and Analysis of Runway Footing on Top of Suspended slab
Sye
You can model the runway foundation slab as a mesh of plates. Since this would be supported on the suspended slab, you would need to simulate the stiffness due to this suspended slab using spring supports. You would need to define the stiffness of these…

RE: Pushover Analisys
Kris Sathia
Your question: 2) Also, I am using the Select/Group commands to have STAAD design steel members. After Select/Group I have included a Perform Analysis and Design Check Commands, which the program does against the new set of cross sections that it itself…

RE: Correct Usage of SELECT and SELECT OPTIMIZED parameters?
Modestas
1) and 2) You can perform several SELECT iterations. For example: PARAMETER 1 CODE EN 1993-1-1:2005 TRACK 2 ALL SGR 2 ALL *1st iteration SELECT ALL GROUP MEMB PERFORM ANALYSIS *2nd iteration SELECT ALL GROUP MEMB PERFORM ANALYSIS…

RE: Correct Usage of SELECT and SELECT OPTIMIZED parameters?
Modestas
When you are using the SELECT command, STAAD.Pro picks up the smallest sections which would be satisfying the code conditions. When such sections are selected, the stiffness of the structure is changed, so the forces on the structure will be different…
