Is there anyone here can give me a step by step procedure on how to input this type of seismic load analysis in staad pro...if any please email me on arnel.engineering@gmail.com

Plate and Surface Elements

MZC_ENGR — Wed, 05 Nov 2014 03:11:11 GMT

I am about to design ah shear wall which I modeled as surface, I want to ask on how to get the stresses of the element. The Surface Element was mesh as per Finite Element Method I just go to post processing and find the stress contour so by then I can go to check the maximum forces thus I need to get one maximum mesh plate only or I need to get all the forces on all mesh plate and add all the stresses on it. Please help thank you.

RAM Connection integrated with Staad Pro v8i

MZC_ENGR — Wed, 05 Nov 2014 03:07:55 GMT

I am about to design the frame connection and I choose to use RAM Connection in staad.. but I find it difficult to use... my connection is a Shear and Moment resisting connection but the choices in Basic, and Smart are separate design for Moment and Shear, is their any hint on how to design that connection in one assignment. Please help me enlighten with this issue. Thank you
