STAAD Foundation Advanced load arrows and moment capacity check

Joseph Weiers — Fri, 05 Mar 2021 21:09:47 GMT

Two questions:

1) I have load cases with point loads, 4 of which are MUCH larger than the rest. When I make a combination with another load case and view it in the geometry tab, the larger point loads are not visible. How can I verify they are being applied correctly? I did check the sum of applied load and reactions are correct in the output but want to verify the large point loads are indeed acting at those locations for proper mat design.

2) After I analyze and design the mat I run the reinforcement zoning, but when I input the same reinforcing size and spacing in the moment capacity check (zone 3 for example) it shows red as if it is failing. I check the area required in the calculation sheet and it matches the reinforcing size recommended.

STAAD Foundation Advanced analysis error

Joseph Weiers — Wed, 03 Mar 2021 17:54:14 GMT

I have created a model of a pile supported mat with many point loads. I input the loads in primary load cases and then created service & ultimate load combinations using these casses. When I try to analyze I am getting this error.

I have checked all my load cases and combinations and am not finding any that are empty and I have primary, service and ultimate like required.

STAAD Foundation Advanced input from Excel

Joseph Weiers — Tue, 02 Mar 2021 17:46:43 GMT

I am using STAAD Foundation Advanced V9.4.0.20 and am trying to import an excel file primarily for loads and the geometry of loads on a mat foundation. Is there a template excel file to start from? I see one for V8.5..... but that says it is not compatible with this version.

RAM steel output information

James Frodsham — Wed, 11 Nov 2015 17:08:57 GMT

Hello,

I am looking to interrogate some of the output information that RAM is giving me.

Firstly, is there any more "in-depth" output than going through Reports-beam designs? Just wondering whether I am missing something obvious.

Also in the BS5950 design if you go to the beam designs output this shows a modular ratio of 10, but when RAM calculates the Ip it doesn't seem to use this ratio? How does RAM calculate the Live Load and Post composite load deflection? i.e. what Inertia does it calculate?

I am using BS5950 code to interrogate the output as in the Eurocode beam design report it doesn't specify what modular ratio it is using?

Thanks for your help.
