STAAD Foundation Advanced - Strap Footing Design

Amir Naeiji — Thu, 18 Apr 2019 21:15:38 GMT

Hi All,

I have attached the model generated by STAAD Foundation Advanced Connect Edition (v8.4.1). Anyone can help me find the answer to the following questions:

The pressure at corners is reported 1.6046 ksf (with no errors), while the maximum soil bearing capacity is set to be 1.5 ksf. Is it a bug of the software or modeling issue? There are some more footings with the same issue (please see picture below).

2. Regarding the sliding check, I could not find a way to account for the active soil pressure on the footing side. Is there any way to make it possible?

3. On page 390 of 719, the governing load case for footing 30 is #328 which is -4.87 kip uplift. Weight of the footing is 12.98 kip and the soil weight on top of the footing is 3.87 kip. Why the software uses this footing size, can we reduce it?

Any thoughts are welcome.

Thank you,

-Amir

RAM Concrete Beam Design

I have 500 beams need to be checked/designed. Is there an option to input all the reinforcements (Quantity, Bar size, Reinforcement layer, etc.) from an excel file that has all the reinforcement information for each beam in a row to the software?

Is there a possibility of using an Excel Macro to import beam design information (reinforcement layout, bar size, etc.) to RAM concrete?

Two Slab openings

Hello,

Is there a way to model two openings on both sides of a beam in RAM Modeler?

The overhang of the slab is 10 inches. On the figure, the beam number is shown.
