Modeling Composite sections as beams

How to model a composite beam in STAAD.pro? I only want to analyze single elements rather than whole structure

  • Please refer to the section 1.7.7 of the Technical Reference Manual titled Composite Beams and Composite Decks. For your case the Explicit Definition Method ( first method ) would be appropriate.

    In the GUI, the option is available when you click on the Section Database button from within the Properties - Whole Structure dialog box. You can then choose the appropriate steel section and define the composite properties as marked in the picture below
