Hi,
1. Does STAAD take into account the ductile detailing provisions of CHAPTER 21 of ACI 318M-11, while arriving at the reinforcement area and stirrup area ??
3. If those provisions are available, how does STAAD identify a SMRF or IMRF or OMRF in concrete design ??
2. Incase, its not available in the batch mode !!! Is the above ductile detailing provision addressed in the RC designer module ?
Regards,
Sanjay
Ductility detailing requirements of ACI 318-11 is not implemented in STAAD.Pro.

Thank You.
Will it be a part of CONCRETE DESIGN MODULE in the future ?
What is the way forward in this regard !!
You can actually use STAAD Advanced Concrete Design ( requires a separate license than STAAD.Pro ) which has the chapter 21 implemented.
hi sir, i would like to concern my staad file, beams cannot be designed as special frame in ductile design, they all fail. i wonder why it cannot be designed as special in ductile design. i have posted my staad file in RAM STAAD FORUM sir, you can search it "Members fail in ductile design" .. this is the name of my post.. i will appreciate it if you will take time to check my file
